Batch file window closing

[957]

Hi I hope this is the right place to post this. I a batch file that makes navigating so much easier. It's a dos window so the UI isn't exactly friendly. When you look at it and try it out for yourself, you'll see that you can select a website without the window closing but when you select and application (provided you have ccleaner, change it to something else if you don't.) the window closes. How can I keep it from closing. Please test any solution you may have. Here is the code

stop

Ps some programs won't open like MalwareBytes.

I've used

start mbam.exe
start "" "[target path]\mbam.exe"

and a few other approaches. Perhaps some programs require another command.
