If you only need to execute only one command all by itself and no wait needed, you should try "cmd /c", this works for me!

cmd /c start iexplore "http://your/url.html"

cmd /c means executing a command and then exit.

You can learn the functions of your switches by typing in your command prompt

It should close automatically  if it doesn t it means that it is stuck on the first command   In your example it should close either automatically  without the exit  or explicitly with the exit  I think the issue is with the first command you are running not returning properly   As a work around you can try using  start    tncserver exe C  Work -p4 -b57600 -r -cFE -tTNC426B

Your code is absolutely fine  It just needs  exit 0  for a cleaner exit       tncserver exe C  Work -p4 -b57600 -r -cFE -tTNC426B  exit 0
