hide console -

Is their anyway to write an app that would hide the console it was run in. And i dont mean that i am writing console apps and cant figure out why the console keeps poping up instead of windows. I want to make a (hopefully) little app that gets the handle of the window console window that called it and use ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE); or something to that effect. So i guess basicly my question is, how do i get the handle of the console i am running in?
Thanks,
Josh Powers
