title: How to "activate" c++11 standard in visual studio 2010?
body: <p>I am new to c++ programming and I need to use the Thread class in my VS 2010 project. 
  I've found this <a href="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/thread/thread/" rel="noreferrer">reference</a>, but when I try the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;thread&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>VS 2010 obviously tells me 'Error: cannot open source file "thread"'. I understand that I need to "activate" c++11 standard somehow. I do not even know where to start.</p>
  
  <p>So what should I do to use () c++11 standard in visual studio 2010?</p>
