Maybe this is what the original poster meant, it is what happens for me 
in Windows 7:

1. Start runemacs.exe.
2. Pin the emacs icon to the taskbar.
3. Exit emacs.
4. Start emacs by clicking on the newly pinned icon in the taskbar.

Result: You get a new emacs window but also a console window.
This is on 23.2 BTW.  Is there reason to think 23.3 or trunk behaves 
differently?
