Simple way: put
PAUSE
at the end of the batch file.

i don't want it to pause at the end of the script, i
simply want it to close. i don't want a user to be able
to close the command prompt window WHILE the batch is
running, when the batch completes, i WANT the window to
close. in my particular case, i am running the batch
from a login script, it will run for several minutes, i
don't want a user to be able to close it.

Unless I misunderstood your question, the answer is simple: in the
properties windows, do not check "close on exit".

This cannot be done with Windows. Maybe some add-on software provides
this, but I have not seen such a tool.

Hi,

Just add "exit" to the end of the batch file and it will close
automatically.

I do not think that this is the problem, because he wrote that he does
not want anyone to close the batch _while it runs_ and it already
closes when it has been finished.
There is no way to do this in Windows as far as I know.

He wasn't clear but he did state that he wanted it to close after it
was done. That's why I made my suggestion. As for preventing it while
it's running, I don't know of a way to prevent the batch file from
being closed while it's running either, but perhaps he could make a
shortcut to the batch file and run it minimized so the users don't
notice it running in the background?
