Windowless process child

Hi, i'm new in this list so I don't know if anyone has asked
this...but...

I have a process (dos app instance) started like this:

_procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
_procStartInfo.FileName = appPath;
_procStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = redirectStandardInput;
_procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = redirectStandardOutput;
_procStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = redirectStandardError;
_procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
_procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

Now, the command that I start with the previously configuration run a
child process that has a window (the child process is a firefox
instance) but the child inherits the property of CreateNoWindow of the
parent, so I see that the process is running (in the task manager) but
I can't see it.

Because the child app is launched by an application that it's not
mine, I can control the way that it start.

It's there something that I can do to run an dos app, redirect it's
output, (error and input too), and still let the application to create
process normally (so I can see them)?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried setting the console app to start minimized instead of hidden?
