Re: Batch File Problem

Hello,

I have added a batch file to my Startup folder to execute whenever
Windows boots. The batch file works ok but it leaves a blank command
(DOS)window on the screen. The only thing in the command window is a
flashing cursor. I would like close this window using the batch file
after the file executes. I have tried adding an exit command to the
batch file but it doesn't seem to work. When the command window
appears on the scrren, the only way to remove it is to click the X in
the upper right corner. I can't enter any commands in the command
window. Is there a way to close the command window in the batch file?

Put the word EXIT as the last line of your batch file.
