Hello I was wondering how do you close you batch file after it has ran? This is what my batch file looks like and it doesn't close: del c:\windows\Hosts copy g:Hosts c:\windows cls exit This is what i added to the login script #SYS:Public\hosts pause Any ideas Thanks JJ

I had this problem several years ago. If I remember correctly, I resolved the issue by editing the default DOS Promt program to hide the Windows OS. Open MyComputer and browse to the \Windows directory. Locate command.com, right click on it and choose properties. Click the Program tab and then the Advanced button. Then select 'Prevent MS-DOS-Based programs from detecting Windows' by clicking in the check box. OK out and you should be all fixed. After doing that the black background DOS window will close after completion rather than stay on the screen labled "Finished" If this doesn't solve it send me an e-mail and I'll confirm what I did in my journal.

Thanks works great
