I'm looking for help with a simple batch file. The following are the last two lines of a batch file that deletes some cookies and then runs a program.

cd C:\Program Files\Radio@Netscape\
Radio@Netscape.exe

I click on a desktop icon, the cmd.exe window opens and the batch file executes.
The problem is that the cmd.exe window stays open until I either quit Radio@Netscape.exe or click the X to close the cmd.exe window. Obviously the batch file is not moving beyond the line that runs the app until the app is closed.

Is there a way to either prevent the cmd.exe window from opening in the first place, or at least have it close once the app is started?

Thanks!

Try changing your last line to:

start Radio@Netscape.exe
