Marco,
try /hide instead of /noshell to start the console minimized. Read the help
for more detail...

"spawn, tmp_path /NOSHELL"
Miss a comma?
If your EXE is a windows GUI program, SPAWN can call it without showing
the command window when supplied with /NOSHELL keyword. But, if you
want to run DOS command, use HIDE keyword can bring the command window
to back, while it will still show in the task bar.
