Hey as per my knowledge there is one method through which you can exit Windows MS-DOS window through a batch file.
You have to just add "exit" command at the bottom of your batch file. The exit command is used to come out from the currently running application like MS-DOS session.
You have to use following Syntax:

Quits the COMMAND.COM program (command interpreter).

EXIT

Hey as per you request I have give following example of exit command. In the following example I have specified how it works.
1.When you use exit command in the new command interpreter, then this command will exit you from this new command interpreter into origianal one.
2.It helps you to return you into Windows , when you enter from the Windows to the DOS
3.If it is in the recovery console then it will exit the recovery console and restart your computer.

If you are using Windows 95, 98, ME, or NT then you can easily exit from the batch file by just creating shortcut of that batch file. You can do this in the following ways.
1.First made the shortcut of the MS-DOS program or batch file.
2.Now right- click on that shortcut and select Properties.
3.Now open Programs tab.
4.Now select "Close on exit."
5.Now Click on Apply and press Ok.
