Posting code for more information:


hDesktop = ::CreateDesktopW( L"Mydesk",NULL,NULL,0, GENERIC_ALL, NULL );

if (NULL == hDesktop) return;

si.cb = sizeof(si); si.lpDesktop = L"Mydesk"; si.lpTitle = NULL; si.dwFlags = 0; si.cbReserved2 = 0; si.lpReserved = NULL; si.lpReserved2 = NULL;

bResult = CreateProcess( L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", NULL, NULL, NULL,FALSE, CREATE_UNICODE_ENVIRONMENT, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi); if (FALSE == bResult) return 0;
