    /* we must build this string with information about mount points */
    const char* command = "c:\\cygwin\\usr\\x11r6\\xterm.exe -display :0.0";

    STARTUPINFO startupinfo;
    PROCESS_INFORMATION processinformation;

    if (!CreateProcess(

	NULL, 							// Working dir. Null uses current dir. 
	startupinfo, &processinformation			// Process information.
	))
    {
	// error
    }

or for cygwin 

int pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
	execl("/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm.exe", "-display", ":0.0", NULL);
} else if (pid == -1) {
	// error
}
