This can not be done using the standard C++ and this group is for
standard C++ questions only. Try asking in some newsgroup under the
microsoft.public.vc.* hierarchy.

This newsgroup doesn't deal with Windows specific issues, you should be
asking / consulting a relevent newsgroup for your issue.

For the record, if you create a CWinApp based application you might notice
the following in InitApplication:

// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

rightclick "Parse CommandLine" and "go to definition"....
and the "#define SW_HIDE 0" found in Winuser.h should give you a clue.
