How do you stop the "Command Prompt Box" from auto closing after program execution?

How do you stop the "Command Prompt Box" from auto closing after
program execution?

In Windows 9x there is a check box to prevent this from happening but
I don't see anything like this in Windows XP. Is there another way
that I've overlooked?

Instead of invoking a command from the Start | Run line, first open a
command prompt window by typing CMD at the Start | Run line. Then enter
your command in that window.

Instead of
blab blah blah
type
cmd /k blab blah blah

The /k option tells the shell to stay open after executing the
command.

Right-click the executable or the PIF. file, select properties, hit the
program tab, and there's your checkbox towards the bottom.

HTH Tony.
