Don't be so pessimistic, John. Of course it's possible!
How do you think all those background processes work? Windows is too big for something simple like this to be impossible :)
Of course, such a thing may need to be written in a different language... but there could be a way.
Have you tried using a startup window cleanup utility to remove the little window that pops up when Blitz starts?
Since exe2 is running in the background, I can safely assume that you don't need to call any graphics commands, so Graphics does not need to be called. In that case, it will (hopefully) never create a window. I have succcessfully created an invisible app before with Blitz, but it's gone now (complete accident, actually) and I don't know how it treats fullscreen apps.
May I ask why you need two exes?
There is a chance that such a thing is unnecessary. Besides, with Blitz3d, if there is anything much going on in the other program they'll both run incredibly slowly since the language has a very system hogging nature.
