Close CMD Window

#1 Post by johnpc » 03 Jan 2017 08:40

How can I get the Cmd Window to close in the following batch file?


@ECHO OFF

cd "C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp"

start %Temp%
cls

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\CleanTempDirs"
start "CleanTempDirs.exe"

exit 0

cls

The first parameter of START that is enclosed into quotation marks will be supposed to be the window title. Pass an empty string as first argument
start "" "CleanTempDirs.exe"

you don't need to use CD or CLS either:

Code: Select all

@Start "" "%TEMP%"
@Start "" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CleanTempDirs\CleanTempDirs.exe"
