You must post to a newsgroup that supports your compiler. This newsgroup is
only qualified to discuss the raw C++ language itself, not its interactions
with all the various windowing systems out there.

Under the wild guess you use Win32, try news:microsoft.public.vc.language .

What's "the console window"? I can't find any definition of it in
the C++ language standard. What's "_popen"? Not defined either.

Are you sure you're in the right newsgroup?

This is not a standard language feature. _popen is not standard C++.

On UNIX systems (which includes Linux) you can run a process in the
background by putting a & character after the command name.

I think on Windows there's a "ShellExecute" option which will cause no
console window to appear.

Clearly you'll need to redirect standard output (if any is produced) in
either case.

You should check the newsgroups relating to the appropriate operating
systems.
