Using the correct file type IS fixing the issue. What you are wanting is
is to avoid fixing the issue. You may be have the problem as a side
effect of a security update. What you are seeing is an opening and
closing of the file for each command. Simply correcting the extension
will cause desired behaviour.


I trust you've read the conclusion to this issue. Both .cmd and .bat are
"correct" extensions for a batch file and they are treated almost
identically by Windows. For all practical purposes you can use either
under Windows XP.

Yes, I did. I personally stick with CMD for NT operating systems, while I
use BAT on the 98 boxes.


This is probably a good idea because it automatically tags the files as
written for NT vs. Win9x style OSs.
