BAT file - easy question

[Joe]

i have a bat that runs during start up on windows 98
machines. it adds routes. it works fine, but after the
routes are run, the command prompt window is still
showing on the screen and to finish you have to exit it.
does anyone know what command can close that window? or
how to make the script entirely invisible? thanks

the last line in the code should be

EXIT

thats what i thought too. but when you do exit, all that
happens is the command prompt titlebar says Finished -
test.bat and doesnt close.

Joe,

Create a shortcut to the bat file and then set the properties of the
shortcut to run minimized. Run only the shortcut from the startup menu.

Right-click on the .BAT, then click on Properties, then click on
the Program tab, then click the "Close on Exit" box.
