“Bring to front” for Windows XP command shell

Question

Is there a command I can put into a Windows XP .bat file to bring the command shell to the front?

Answer 1

Another way to get the cmd prompt window to show in front is by ending file1.bat with a command to call a second file2.bat file, followed by an exit command.

EXAMPLE using file1.bat

....
[your code here]
start C:\file2.bat
exit

This closes file1.bat and opens a second .bat file where you can continue with your code. This second .bat command prompt will open in front of other windows
