I have a simple console application. When it starts it opens a dos box until

Is it possible and how to eliminate the dos box, leaving the rest

Does it really need to be a console application, and if so, how are you starting it?

Normally, the window would go away on its own. But a shortcut to the process can be set to leave the window open, and if I recall correctly there are other ways to control that as well.

If you can avoid making the program a console application, that's obviously the best solution. But otherwise, you should look into whatever is causing the window to stay in the first place.
