Hi
Newbie here so I'll apologize ahead of time...lol
I have a simple batch file to delete a file if it exists and copy another
Actually I would like to do a move instead of a copy
The main problem is when I run the batch file the command window doesn't close
I have googled it and tried an exit but no luck
any ideas would be great
Thanks
Joe

I do not think anyone here is omniscient. Would help to see your code.

It could be run from a shortcut that leaves the window open.
jbalbo, Squashman's point is one that is made very frequently. See here:
