MS-Dos Prompt properties

Does any one know where the MSdos prompt configuration (close on exit & start minimised) is stored?
I know it can be set in the pif file, but I need to set it on about a hundred win95 workstation using a kix script.
I have a script copied from the server to the workstations and runs locally.
all works ok, except the dos box(local script) won’t close on exit.
I tried setting close on exit on the original file, but that property seems to be lost on transfer.
