You could have a much better control over executable launching with 
CreateProcess()

   STARTUPINFO           StartupInfo;
   PROCESS_INFORMATION   ProcessInformation;
   BOOL                  bProcessOk;

   memset(&StartupInfo, 0, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
   StartupInfo.cb           = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
   StartupInfo.dwFlags      = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
   StartupInfo.wShowWindow  = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
   memset(&ProcessInformation, 0, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION));

   bProcessOk = CreateProcess(
                   (LPCTSTR) NULL,                    // pointer to name of 
executable module (LPTSTR) szCommand,                // pointer to command 
line string
                   (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,      // pointer to process 
security attributes (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,      // pointer to thread 
security attributes (BOOL) TRUE,                       // handle 
inheritance flag (DWORD) CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE |
                           NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,     // creation flags 
(LPVOID) NULL,                     // pointer to new environment block 
(LPCTSTR) NULL,                    // pointer to current directory name 
(LPSTARTUPINFO) &StartupInfo,      // pointer to STARTUPINFO 
(LPPROCESS_INFORMATION) &ProcessInformation);  // pointer to 
PROCESS_INFORMATION
