Although you say it in a confusing way, I guess that your problem is
that you have built your application as a console application, which
always has a console window. If started from Explorer, it opens a new
console window. Use the -mwindows flag to create a GUI application
instead. (But then you will have to supply a WinMain() function
instead of a main() function.)

That (MS-)DOS has nothing do with this.
