title: How to kill the WebDriver instance keeping the Web Browser open
body: <p>I am developing an automatic web unit test with Selenium WebDriver.
  I know that I can use the <code>driver.close()</code> and <code>driver.quit()</code> method to close the browser and to release the <strong>chromedriver</strong> from the memory after the test but it's not good for me because I want that the Chrome browser will stay open so I will be able to continue to work on the site from the place the automatic test finished.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, that when I am closing the chrome browser manually, the chromedriver.exe staying in the memory of the machine and not terminated so in the next test i will have another chromedriver.exe in the memory and so on.</p>
  
  <p>Will be great if i can tell to the chromedriver.exe to terminate itself when the last chrome insistence will be closed. As i explained, i can not do it grammatically because the test method already ended. </p>
  
  <p>I know that i can loop over all the process each time i am executing the test and kill any active webdriver process but i don't like that way. </p>
  
  <p>Just to make things clear,  I want automation until a specific point and then to continue manually, after the automation part completed. On that point, i can not access the instance of the driver to use <code>driver.quit()</code> or <code>driver.close()</code> method. I am using Microsoft.NET TestMethod. </p>
