Make this the last line of your batch file:

I am backing selected files from one drive to another
using dos xcopy in a batch file executee from the start-
run selection. This works fine but leaves the ms-dos
prompt box open on the desk top. If I include the
text 'command /c' before the batch file name the box
closes. This is what I want. Next I try to use the task
scheduler to run the batch files, but if I include
the 'command /c' before the batch file name the scheduled
task will not run. This is very frustrating. I just want
to execute the bat file using task scheduler and close the
ms-dos prompt box. Any suggestions how to change the
command line?

Thanks - W Budd
