It depends on which IDE/compiler you use.

Use /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS, not /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE.

In Code::Blocks and Dev-C++ you can just set the application to a GUI App. and the console window will not appear. If you were just trying to make a console that does something that you want to stay hidden, you could do something like this.

#SelectExpand
 1HWND hidden_window;
 2AllocConsole();
 3hidden_window=FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass",NULL);
 4ShowWindow(hidden_window,NULL);

EDIT:: Visual C++. ew.

There's also a check box for it somewhere in VC++'s preferences IINM.

In Project properties:
Configuration properties -> Linker -> System
Change Subsystem to Windows.

Names may not be 100% exact since I have MSVC in Spanish and I'm translating to English myself.

That's correct. More thoroughly:

Project -> [project name] Properties -> Configuration properties -> Linker -> System -> SubSystem
