I need to launch programatically an application that runs as a console
application (it's a virus scan program that does some scanning and then
closes) but I don't want it to appear on the screen.

I have tried setting the STARTUPINFO.wShowWindow in CreateProcess to SW_HIDE
(or SW_MINIMIZE) but this has no effect. The console window is still
displayed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

John Franklin
