I wolud like to run my batch file always on top. Is it possible.

I hate it when my batch file prompts me with a "Press Any Key" and it's minimized.

Can somebody help me with this??Check the files properties. Run maximized.no not there yet...  I can't such a box to check under startup.bat -> properties... any other ideas??Must be XP. That option exists for DOS programs but not for .bat files. If you have access to a w98 machine, copy a .pif file (any one will do) to your machine. Modify it to point to your .bat file and you will have the option to run it in a normal window, minimized, or maximized. And a few more little things that XP don't let you do.thanks... great answer.. i'll LOOK in to it as SOON as i can get my hand on an '98 computer, if i can find oneDo you mean "run Always-on-top" or "not minimized" or "maximized"?

You MENTION both "always-on-top", but then SAY you don't want it minimized.

When calling batch file, you can use the START command to force it to start maximized if that is what you are looking for.  Example:
CODE: [Select]start /max mybatch.bat
