Alan,
      I think there were two issues. One was making sure to compile a
winexe, rather than a conolse app (you and others suggested this). The
second was that he was starting his app using a .bat file, and this also
creates a console. There were a few suggestions how to get rid of this as
well.

Thanks,
Jonathan
