Batch File Not working

1. End your .bat file with cls, that's one way.

2. Create a shortcut to the batch file, then go to Properties, and on teh Program tab, check "close on exut", then run the batch file from the shortcut. That'll work too.

First create a shortcut to your batch file by right clicking on the BAT file and choosing Create Shortcut. Then right click the newly created "Shortcut to MS-DOS program" and select properties. On the Program tab check the Close on Exit check box and click ok. Now start your batch program using the shortcut. The window will close when the batch file completes.

If you are calling the batch program from another process be sure and have that process point to the shortcut and not the BAT file.

Start Windows explorer, find location of your batch file in system (I mean local or network hard drive), make right click on it, click on Properties, switch to Program tab, check Close on exit and click OK. That's it. Next time your DOS window will be closed automatically.

Good luck

Try "EXIT" or ":EXIT"

Add the "Exit" statement to the end of the script.
