Although I'm not so sure, I'm afraid that this is not correct. I think normal command-line utils create (or need?) a console window. Only services like winlogon.exe, smss.exe, or services.exe don't need any windows, as far as I can tell. So, I think Bruce's solution is also an excellent solution for normal applications, in addition to your own exe solution. Sean ------------------------ Yahoo!
