Close CMD after opening multiple exe's with it ?
Current code:

Code:
cd "PATH"
cmd /c "EXE1.exe"
"EXE2.exe"

Problem:
The Command line stays open after opening the second executable.

I would need a way to open multiple programs and automatically close the command line after they have been opened.

Thanks in advance:

I don't quite understand your problem, or what your code is trying to do. From where / how are you running this?

Would adding an "exit" after the second executable help?

well for the sake of argument let's say I run it from C:/files

Code:
cd "C:/Files"
cmd /c "EXE1.exe"
"EXE2.exe"

this isn't actually a code.
Just some lines inside a bat file trying to execute two executable files.

The problem is:
The command line doing this stays open AFTER both programs have long opened.

Try putting the line 'exit' after all of those.

sadly, a exit after any and all lines will just stop the script from advancing right after the first exe file.

And 'exit' after the whole script won't do much at all either.
(it will not execute the last exit till the previous program is closed manually)

Oh, so the problem is not that it stays open, but that it doesn't return to the prompt?

That sounds pretty much like what I have got, yeah.
