Running .exe file from MTLAB using system()

Hi everyone,
I use system to run my executable file:
system('myfile.exe')
The problem that I'm facing is that it doesn't go to next line unless I close the GUI (which the exe file opens). The exe file doesn't need an input so all I want is to run the exe file programmatically and move on to the next line without waiting for an action from the user. Can anybody help me please? I'd be grateful.

As per the tip section system's help: to execute the operating system command in the background, include the trailing character, &, in the command argument. Therefore:
system('myfile.exe &');

Medhi's comment again copied here because he keeps putting his comments as "Answers" to his original question instead of replies to Guillaume, even though they're not:
Thank you but I've tried that; it closes the GUI and opens a DOS page. That's not what I want.
