Unfortunately cmd does not have a noclose function. There are options of standalone tools, but that means you have to load that for each machine.

Easiest way is to hide the batch file completely.

create a VBS file examplefilename.vbs

put this in it.

Set LoginScript    = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
LoginScript.Run "f:\login.cmd", 0, False

Just correct the path and filename of the cmd or bat file.

Then run the vbs file to call and hide the cmd completely.

So you will as of then call the vbs file instead of the batch file, the VBS in turn will call the batch.
