You're having trouble double clicking a batch file? Opening a batch this way has the same effect as clicking on it. Well here it is anyways:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Press enter.";
cin.get();
system("start c:/myprogram.exe"); //A bat file has .bat extension by the way, not an exe.
return 0;
}

you can use system function call.
system("./prgm/ddww.exe");

For a batch file, use the 'Call' command: Call some.exe
Although I'm wondering what you mean by "pages". Whatever it is you're after doing, there is probably a better way to achieve it than through calling multiple executables with a batch file. |

Try running your program through the console it shouldn't disappear that way.

Put system("pause"); in your code, just before it returns.

Better than a system call (non portable), put a statement that's part of the standard library that requires input from the user. Discard the input and move on to termination.

add a pause at the end of the batch file.
