When the Visual Basic Shell command is used to execute a batch file or MS-
DOS program on Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me, the MS-DOS window remains open by
default when the program is done executing. Under Windows 3.1, Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, and Windows NT 3.51, the MS-DOS window closes by default
when the program is done executing. This article shows how to force Windows
95, Windows 98, or Windows Me to close the MS-DOS window when the program is done
executing.
