exec() will execute the app as the system, not a user, so cannot interact with the desktop.
One way of getting around this would be (for NT) to use the exec() command to create an AT schedule for 1 min in the future and set it to /interactive which would cause the app to load and interact with the desktop of the logged in user (if there was one). This is theory, by may just work.....
