How do I turn off Unicode in a VC++ project?

I have a VC++ project in Visual Studio 2008.

It is defining the symbols for unicode on the compiler command line (/D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE"), even though I do not have this symbol turned on in the preprocessor section for the project.

alt text

As a result I am compiling against the Unicode versions of all the Win32 library functions, as opposed to the ANSI ones. For example in WinBase.h, there is: 

#ifdef UNICODE
#define CreateFile  CreateFileW
#else
#define CreateFile  CreateFileA
#endif // !UNICODE

Where is the unicode being turned on in the VC++ project, how can I turn it off?

From VS2019 Project Properties - Advanced - Advanced Properties - Character Set enter image description here

Also if there is _UNICODE;UNICODE Preprocessors Definitions remove them. Project Properties - C/C++ - Preprocessor - Preprocessor Definition enter image description here
