I have set up popen to do some file system tasks (opening, moving and
deleting files) which works. It does have a major annoyance in
that for each command passed, a command prompt window opens and then
closes (stealing focus). Is there any way to not have the window
open at all? I set the command prompt application property to run
minimized but that only controls how the app launches when double
clicked.
Also, commands seem to take rather long to complete although I'm not sure how the window opening plays into that.
