Hi
I want to schedule a batch file to run (in Win 98SE) every morning while I
am on holiday. However, the fact that the DOS window stays on screen
displaying 'Finished' is preventing the batch running again.
Is there some way to have the DOS window close when it's finished?
Thanks
Tim S

Right click the bat file. Select properties and check "close on exit"
on the program tab

Highlight the batch file, select right click / properties. One of the
TABs will say 'Close on exit'

Thanks folks. It never occurred to me that you could do this to a batch
file, only an "MS DOS" icon. Doh!
