How do i stop a dos window closing after the completion of commands. In NT &
98 there used to be a user option in properties (I think I remember) but not
in XP

Ideas ?

Thanks

Sure - opening a cmd.exe is no problem, but it involves typing. But I what
is a shotcut to a bat file of a cmd file in which a netstat commands is
written. One click on a shortcut and the window opens and runs the netstat
and then remains open displaying the info - can't see a way to do this in
the new inproved windows

/k

i.e... cmd /k netstat -<parms>

Enter CMD /? at a Command Prompt for further parameter options.
