Batch File - Running a exe and closing the winodw

Hi everyone,

I have a simple batch file that does some tasks and finally runs a exe,

task1 

task2

.

.

.

"C:\Program Files\ATITool\ATITool.exe"

But when it runs the ATITool.exe, the black DOS window just stays there in the foreground. So all I want is to do is close that window automatically after it executes the ATITool.exe.

How can I do this ?

Any help will be appereciated.

Put "start" before the command
e.g.

start "" "C:\Program Files\ATITool\ATITool.exe"

The first set of quotes are for the window title

Edit: added and fixed the quotes

Thanks so much mate.
Its working now. :)

I have been struggling with the start and call commands but wasn't able to do it sucessfully as I was using,

start "C:\Program Files\ATITool\ATITool.exe"

instead of what you suggested,

start "" "C:\Program Files\ATITool\ATITool.exe"

Thats the title parameter, right ?
