Right click on the MS-DOS icon. Select Properties, click on the Program tab, put a check in the check-box for Close On Exit.
This should do it.

PS Be sure to click OK after checking the box, before closing the window so the change will be retained.

Ignore the above suggestion...They just don't know any better. To close the DOS window after completion of the batch file, the last line of the batch file should be CLS
That's all you need to do.

you guys are all wrong and Ryan cooley was almost right. I quote from microsoft support centre: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q122/5/14.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0
If you are running a batch file, you can close the MS-DOS window by adding the following lines to the end of the batch file:
