Run console application directly from directory using double click

[wysota]

In my experience, running even a "do-nothing" program on Windows (up to and including Win 7) by double-clicking the file name will at least briefly post an MS-DOS command window. Maybe this is happening too quickly to be noticed or the window is behind others, but I am certain that it is still happening. One way to test would be to simply add a sleep() statement with a few seconds' delay to main().

It depends whether the program has the console activated or not.
