Batch Files Don't Stay Open

[Guest KenG]

Hello and thanks in advance.

 

I have some batch files which have dos menus. I created a shortcut to the

desktop and when I try to run a batch file the dos window opens then closes

quickly. What I need is for the window to stay open so I can access some dos

menu functions. I have a command on the menu to close the window. Any tips,

advance or needed info will be helpful.

 

Thanks KJG

Hi Ken,

 

Right click the shortcut and select Properties. Preface your Target

batch file with cmd.exe /k like this:

cmd.exe /k "c:\batchfiles\my DOS menu.bat"
