Re: closing a window
If you show us your batch file your task may become clearer.
It can depend on which music player you are using...

Re: closing a window
The command you are looking for is taskkill. It will close the window.
taskkill /f /im notepad.exe
Replace notepad.exe with whatever you want to close.
You don't have to specify the location becuase taskkill looks in your porcesses, where everything is just a .exe file
I hope this helps!

Re: closing a window
Is taskkill in all versions of Win 7 and Vista?
FWIW I don't think XP Home has taskkill.
Killing the window is one way, and you can download PSkill from sysinternals - but using the switches/configuration in the media player to close it after playing is the preferred method. That's why I asked which media player is being used.

Re: closing a window
taskkill is present in all versions of windows 7 and Vista, and also in Windows XP Professional.
taskkill alone might not work on the media player (like what you were saying)
thats why I reccomended taskkill /f
taskkill /f terminated the process (kinda like a fast End Task)
I thought it might work.
