Mark,

would it be possible to add an additional option to the Execute command to hide the resultant window:

int Execute( String cmd, bool hide ){

#if _WIN32

	cmd=T("cmd /S /C \"")+cmd+T("\"");

	PROCESS_INFORMATION pi={0};
	STARTUPINFOW si={sizeof(si)};
	
	//hide??
	if (hide) {
		si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
		si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE;
	}
	
	if( !CreateProcessW( 0,(WCHAR*)OS_STR(cmd),0,0,1,CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE,0,0,&si,&pi ) ) return -1;

	WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess,INFINITE );

	int res=GetExitCodeProcess( pi.hProcess,(DWORD*)&res ) ? res : -1;

	CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
	CloseHandle( pi.hThread );

	return res;

#else

	return system( OS_STR(cmd) );

#endif
}

I can roll my own of course, but other users may find this of use.

GLFW3 i think is doing this, so it will come for cross-desktop.
