How to tell if a windows PE file is a console subsystem or a windows subsystem programmatically?

Question

Basically I need a program that will sort windows .exe\'s from the console counterparts.

A file scanner:

SortExe(file exe) 
{
 if (IsPeWindows(exe)         


        

Answer 1

Pass SHGFI_EXETYPE to SHGetFileInfo() & examine the hi/loword of the return value as explained in the link.
