The standard solution to this is to use "run" to run your app. Of course, on Windows 7, MS has broken the functionality to hide the console that gets created, so "run" doesn't always help there (as evidenced by the behavior you see with startxwin.bat). So this is a MS problem that's searching for a fix. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
