Shutdown window after running batch file

[Jaiwanti]

heya all!

I have SyncToy via a shortcut in my Startup programs folder that runs the line "C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R ,but after it running, the window keeps open. I know how to minimize the same but no clue how to make it close? guys can you give some inputs regarding this

In Windows XP the window, that the batch file stay opens, until applications and documents opened by that batch file remain open., use the start command in front of the file names. E.g., If we write a batch file to open tlg and a word document

start "" "C:\Program Files\TLGWork\tlg32.exe"
start "" "C:\My Documents\practice.doc"

Batch files allow MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows users to create a lists of commands to run in sequence once the batch file has been executed. A simple batch file does not require any special programming skills and can be done by users who have a basic understanding of MS-DOS commands. as far as your intention to make the window to shut down it can be done with simple instructions
start C:\"Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToy.exe" -R
good for you

Thank you for this!! I have an application depending on the cmd window closing to continue execution and looked everywhere to find out how to do it. Your solution works!!!
