Running a visual c++ program question

[dukeyukon]

I'm learning Visual Studio .Net and just recently created a program that calls the ShellExecute API. The problem is when I click on the executable, a black screen pops up, opens a file, and then disappears. How do I make it so that the screen does not show up and just let the program run in the background?
Thanks for any help,

if you run a console application the screen will appear anyway.
Instead of ShellExecute you may use CreateProcess.
