Hi I haven't written any C++ since VS6 so I'm rusty and please pardon me.
I have a need for a very lean application which runs as a native mode executable with no accompanying libraries or manifest file. In other words this program behaves in the manner that a VS6 application would.
I seem to recall that I could get a program to run without a console window by deassigning stdin and stdout but that may have been in a detached child process.
Can anyone tell me how to do this
How to write an App with no console window at all

If you create a windows program you don't get a console window to. There is no need to create your own window.
Just use the wizard and create an Win32 program. Delete everythin except the WinMain function. Than you have a program that starts without a console window and can be launched from every other program.
Off course I recommend the usage of VS2003 or VS2005! VC6 is no longer supported and completely out of date!
