Description:
------------
I want to start gui application with use popen().
In windows xp i use pclose(popen("start /B calc.exe", "r")); and windows open correctly the calculator.
In windows 7 this open a calculator but i show only in a process list, and i not see the gui! Then in the services list i have set in the connect tab, the propety interact with desktop. 

The problem is now when i start open(...) windows 7 show me a strange message "an application want show a message" and show me 2 button that i can read message or not. If i click on read windows go in strange mode and show me the calculator, after i have to click another button to return from 'normal mode'.

What is this?!?!?



Expected result:
----------------
Open normal application without go in 'strange mode'!

Not related to PHP, that's security and other settings in windows. Also I don't see why one would allow that by default in a web either.

Ok, but in this mode open(); not work correctly on windows 7!

It works just fine. If you have issues (other than this GUI problem), please explain them.
