How do I run Code Compare separately (Standalone) when doing code comparison in TFS before checking in code changes. Right now the code compare window opens up inside the Visual studio environment.

Finally I figured out myself :) Confusing part was "from command line" 

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Use StandAlone application from command line by default

you searched for this tool? https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dace3633-0b51-4629-85d4-c59cdce5bb3b/ should be standalone ;) The code compare in visual studio itself cannot be ran standalone as far as I know.
