Batch File || How to freeze command prompt

Question

Not sure if this question has already asked. Created a batch file, its working fine. But what I need is, to keep open command prompt when batch is executing. Basically, when we click on batch file, the "command prompt" as soon as batch execution completes. If any error comes I cants see any error. So i want to freeze command prompt. Hope I am clear with my question.

Thank you. Arfeen.

rem Pause if command double clicked
If /i "%cmdcmdline:~0,6%"=="cmd /c" pause

Put above as last two lines. Pauses if double clicked but doesn't pause if typed.

Run As Administrator

You need to right click and choose Run As Administrator. Only certain programs show the elevation dialog. Explorer and Task Manager being the two common ones. This script automates right clicking.

  Lists or runs an explorer verb (right click menu) on a file or folder

    ShVerb <filename> [verb]

  Used without a verb it lists the verbs available for the file or folder

  The program lists most verbs but only ones above the first separator
  of the menu work when used this way

  The Properties verb can be used. However the program has to keep running
  to hold the properties dialog open. It keeps running by displaying
  a message box.

The script

HelpMsg = vbcrlf & "  ShVerb" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "  David Candy 2014" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "  Lists or runs an explorer verb (right click menu) on a file or folder" & vbcrlf  & vbcrlf & "    ShVerb <filename> [verb]" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "  Used without a verb it lists the verbs available for the file or folder" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
HelpMsg = HelpMsg & "  The program lists most verbs but only ones above the first separator" & vbcrlf & "  of the menu work when used this way" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf 
HelpMsg = HelpMsg & "  The Properties verb can be used. However the program has to keep running" & vbcrlf & "  to hold the properties dialog open. It keeps running by displaying" & vbcrlf & "  a message box." 
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    If Ag.count = 0 then 
        wscript.echo "  ShVerb - No file specified"
        wscript.echo HelpMsg 
        wscript.quit

        Next
        wscript.echo mid(CmdList, 2)

    'If two arguments do verbs for that item

    'Properties is special cased. Script has to stay running for Properties dialog to show.

            msgbox "This message box has to stay open to keep the " & ObjFolderItem.Name & " Properties dialog open."
