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));
 /*
   CreateProcess parameters info

   pointer to name of executable module pointer to command line string
   pointer to process security attributes
   pointer to thread security attributes
   handle inheritance flag
   creation flags
   pointer to new environment block
   pointer to current directory name
   pointer to STARTUPINFO
   pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION
*/

   bProcessOk = CreateProcess(
                   (LPCTSTR) NULL,
                   (LPTSTR) szCommand,
                   (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,
                   (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,
                   (BOOL) TRUE,
                   (DWORD) CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE |
                           NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                   (LPVOID) NULL,
                   (LPCTSTR) NULL,
                   (LPSTARTUPINFO) &StartupInfo,
                   (LPPROCESS_INFORMATION) &ProcessInformation);
