Subject: Bug: can not start a w32 GUI program from Emacs
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 01:38:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4591C075.3040905@gmail.com> (raw)

I have been trying different ways to start explorer.exe from Emacs on 
w32. I can not find any way that works. It is a quite annoying bug.

I suspect this has something to do with the code in w32proc.c that defines

   start.hStdInput = GetStdHandle (STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
   start.hStdOutput = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
   start.hStdError = GetStdHandle (STD_ERROR_HANDLE);

This is done even if Emacs thinks it is a GUI app. Is this the problem? 
Why is this handles set also for GUI programs.
