Re: Howto hide a console app window and don't show it in the taskbar

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



PE means Portable Executable; it is the file format that windows "exe" files use (and in fact "dll"s too).

At the start of this file is the header, which has some flags to tell the OS what to do with it. One of these flags indicates whether that process will need a console.

So basically - when you compile, it sets this flag depending on whether you have chosen your project as a windows exe or a console exe. Just change it to a windows exe.
