Stranger and stranger. I found this on the web somewhere. 

when you try to create a console process with CreateNoWindows= true it
+ 
will work fine on windows NT/2k/xp but on windows 9x/ME the console 
window will pop up anyway.

Quote from MSDN (Article "Process creation flags") 

CREATE_NO_WINDOW: 
The process is a console application that is run without a console win
+dow. 
This flag is valid only when starting a console application. 
This flag cannot be used with MS-DOS-based applications. 
Windows Me/98/95: This value is not supported. 

I don't think this "bug" will be fixed. 
This flag simply isn't supported by Win95/98/Me.

Whether they've decided to stop mentioning it in the docs, or the ability has been removed in one of the latest set of updates I don't know. Maybe they are trying to make it harder for people to create silent keyloggers and the like?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
