Hi all,

I'd like to use the system command in order to start a third party binary executable on Windows XP. Is there a way to supress the opening, or hide the shell window since it has no use for my purpose. It is somewhat ugly to have an empty useless shell window open when all I want to do is to start another application.

Regards,
Ingo
