Simple Batch Problem

[Ray Stainer]

Tried all combination of "rems", but batch file will not close every time.
Can you show me how I get it to close and exit to desktop from whence it starts. Written in Notepad.

@echo off
copy \lotus\work\123\*.123 a:\backups\*.*
cls
echo.
dir a:\backups
pause
rem END
rem EXIT
rem cls

Also can I restrict activating the file with a Password.

Many thanks

If you start it from an Icon on the desktop.
Right click the icon.
The properties
Under Program Tab find and mark the check box.
Close On exit

Having received the perfect recipe for curing my bat file termination, I would please like to know if someone can help me with the second problem I included in the project. "can I arrange for the batch file to be password protected?"

Thanks again.
