Commands in BAT files are not processed

@ECHO OFF

title Skype secondary Instance

echo A second instance of Skype will be started.
pause

"C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary

exit

After running this BAT script the command windows does not close until the Skype program is not closed. Could you tell me why? And how to close the command window after the program has started.

Use the START command.

start "" "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary

Although, I should think you don't even need a batch file. You could simply create a shortcut with "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary as the target.
