Hi Boris, Thanks for the hint. I managed to use hstart to execute "web2py.exe -a blah -t", so it can basically satisfied my need.
However, because hstart is not fully "free" (please refer to http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/hstart/distribution.html ), so I still believe if web2py.exe has a native ability to hide the console window. To Massimo: Don't know whether that is hard for web2py side. Besides, actually what I am doing in recent days, is finding a way to easily build ANY web2py application into a standalone setup.exe for Windows platform, so novice can just install it, run it, and later stop it and uninstall it in the usual way. The setup.exe itself, is based on the famous and free installer named InnoSetup. Right now everything is almost perfect, except that web2py.exe of the end package has a console window by default. Hstart.exe is great and really helps, but users need to get permission for that at first.
