The problem is not in this code. What do you do after this code?

By the way I would use GetWindowsDirectory() instead of hard coding
C:\Windows

After build the following code as test.exe. The test.exe starts the
notepad.exe ok, but it has the notepad.exe window stays behind an
active window if there is any. How can I ensure the notepad.exe is
created stays on the front of other active window?

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
STARTUPINFO StartupInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInformation;

ZeroMemory( &ProcessInformation, sizeof( ProcessInformation ) );
ZeroMemory( &StartupInfo, sizeof( StartupInfo ) );
StartupInfo.cb = sizeof( STARTUPINFO );
StartupInfo.dwFlags = CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE;

FolderPath[0] = _T('\0');
CommandString[0] = _T('\0');
StringCchCatW(FolderPath, MAX_PATH,_T("C:\\Windows"));
StringCchCatW(CommandString, MAX_PATH, _T("C:\\Windows\
\Notepad.exe"));

CreateProcess(NULL,
CommandString,
NULL,
NULL,
TRUE,
0,
NULL,
FolderPath,
&StartupInfo,
&ProcessInformation );
...
}
