Hi, Mike

The advice I was given for that situation, is to call the 
setup.py and py2exe with pythonw 
instead of plain ol' python. 

Like:

---8<------------

c:\myscripts\pythonw setup.py py2exe

---8<----------

Worked pretty good too. 
I got my little windowed progy and no 
DumbOl'System box in the background. 

HTH, Pleased to serve.
