Creatng 100% separate process from Parent

I'm trying to create a process that is independent of the parent with
CreateProcess().

By independent, when using Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, I don't
want the spawned process to be a "child" under the parent process.

I tried various CreateProcess flags, include CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP.

When run separately (manually), of course, Process Explorer shows it as a
independent process (as part of the EXPLORER.EXE process).

The reason I want this is because the main process is traditionally an
independent RPC server process and the second RPC client process (a
configuration tool) is typically just run from the start menu.

I added a "Run Configuration" to the server process tray menu and I don't
want any hidden new unforeseen issues by given the user a "convenience" menu
option.

Thanks in advance
