No, if anything it's a bug in Windows. Look in the archives at the
beginning of 2009 where this was discussed. You can at least hide the
window after it exists now, but the option of starting it out of sight
has been removed with Windows 7 and

The purpose of run is to start a Windows program that needs a console to
exist and hide the console window created by windows if there is no

run appears to work correctly when you use it at a cygwin shell prompt.
run.exe is a cygwin executable; use ld
rer.exe "Windows Explorer")
3) sleep.exe (at the top level)
So, definitely, run.exe is *not* preventing the flashing console window as I
expected it to.
