Bug: can not start a w32 GUI program from Emacs

I have been trying different ways to start explorer.exe from Emacs on w32. I can not find any way that works. It is a quite annoying bug. 

I suspect this has something to do with the code in w32proc.c that defines

  start.hStdInput = GetStdHandle (STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
  start.hStdOutput = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  start.hStdError = GetStdHandle (STD_ERROR_HANDLE);
This is done even if Emacs thinks it is a GUI app. Is this the problem? Why is this handles set also for GUI programs.
