Hi,

How can I return from a batch calling an application?
--- file.cmd---
start "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\EasyPHP.exe"
-------
===========================
call file.cmd
pause
iexplorer.exe
.....

In what sense is your batch file failing to return? Or is it that control is
not returning from the application to your batch script?

You appear to call the batch file "file.cmd" from within itself, resulting
in a recursive loop with no exit.

Should be:

start "" "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\EasyPHP.exe"
