Terminal environment batch file with Explorer.exe

[sirwolf]

First of all Hi. I found this forum and it seems to be great. I will try to participate and help.

here is my question.
I use an environment for TS user. It calls a batch file.
Here it is.

--------
@echo off

net use P: /delete
net use T: /delete
net use U: /delete
net use R: /delete

net use P: \\caij-filesrv\public
net use T: \\caij-filesrv\transfert
net use u: \\caij-filesrv\%username%$
net use R: \\caij-filesrv\administration$

explorer

exit
------

The problem is after executing explorer.exe it will never execute the 'exit' command so the batch file window will stay there and the user need to click the X to close it. Anyone knows what should i do to close the batch file auto ?

ok sorry ..i found a simple way to make it work.

If you want to know .. here is the solution :

Just put a 'start' before calling EXPLORER.exe
----
@echo off

net use P: /delete
net use T: /delete
net use U: /delete
net use R: /delete

net use P: \\caij-filesrv\public
net use T: \\caij-filesrv\transfert
net use u: \\caij-filesrv\%username%$
net use R: \\caij-filesrv\administration$

start explorer

exit
------------

Glad you found your answer. Now I would suggest that you move away from batch scripting entirely. Time to update your toolbox and start using vbscript. faq329-5798

I hope you find this post helpful.
