If you see a console, then the WinNT service is marked to "allow service to interact with desktop" ... turn off that flag in the control panel ... admin tools ... services list; right click on apache2 and choose properties. It's in the "Log On" tab. But Cygwin may have tweaked the LocalSystem account to perpetually allow access to the desktop - I'm afraid I can't be of much help there...

I'll spend some time this weekend looking at this... IIRC CREATE_NO_WINDOW ***totally*** hoses pipes under some circumstances. Better to allow the window to be created; but with the show window flag hidden. Unfortunately cmd.exe itself has it's fingers in how Win32 transfers standard handles to the child process. Bill
