Agreed, a proper workaround is still needed. > You have still cluttered > your desktop, or rather, your taskbar with console windows. I don't see that with MinTTY with ShowWindowAsync(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE), at least on Windows 7 RC 64-bit. There's a conhost.exe for each session in Task Manager, but no console icon in the taskbar. > The problem with the console handles > in 64 bit Windows is fixed in the latest builds. Thanks, I better give that a go. Using AttachConsole would at least get rid of the popups when invoking from an existing Cygwin session.
