   Then insert a "pause" command at the end of the batch file so the   
   window stays open.   
      
   And don't forget, when you run the batch by a right click, there is a   
   different working directory as when run in a command window. Insert   
   a cd command at the beginning of the batch to have the same working   
   directory as with you command window.
