How to automatically close cmd window after batch file execution?

Question

I\'m running a batch file that has these two lines:

start C:\\Users\\Yiwei\\Downloads\\putty.exe -load \"MathCS-labMachine1\"
\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Xmi         


        

Answer 1

Modify the batch file to START both programs, instead of STARTing one and CALLing another

start C:\Users\Yiwei\Downloads\putty.exe -load "MathCS-labMachine1"
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\Xming.exe" :0 -clipboard -multiwindow

If you run it like this, no CMD window will stay open after starting the program.
