Three ways I can think of. 1) Make the last line of your Batch file "@exit" or 2) "cls" - or a combination of the two, or 3) modify the settings for a DOS program to select the option "Close window when finished" or whatever - I believe this is in the Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel).

Right click on the dos icon for the bat file, scroll down to and click on properties, click on the program tab at the top, and as DoOMsdAY said, check off the close on exit option if the other directions didn't work.

Yeah, yeah...that was it. A few years away from 9x, you start forgetting things (with a little help from a trained psychologist). Thanks Ronin. :)

Guru is a misnomer - as the saying goes, "The more you learn, the less you know". I see how true that is by the day...Guru-san. :P

If I was a master of space and time, I'd be able to send a Windows message from a thread to it's parent process' windowless control. Alas, instead I must resort to the Microsoft newsgroups and hope for the best... :P
