Three possibilities:

* #include <wincon.h> and call FreeConsole() at the top of main() ... you'll
still catch a glimpse of the console when the program starts, though.

* Create a shortcut to your application, open the shortcut properties,
change "Run" to "Minimized", and run your app from the shortcut.

* Create a 2nd application that runs your program using CreateProcess() with
DETACHED_PROCESS for the dwCreationFlags parameter.

Cheerio,
