close the ms-dos prompt box
Make this the last line of your batch file:
cls -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "W Budd" wrote in message ... 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 |

Thanks - W Budd ==================================== Add "exit" (no quotes) as the last line of the .bat file. Also make sure that in the Dos window properties under "program", make sure that "close on exit" is checked. Jack |
