Hi,
Normally when you launch a MS Dos type batch file you end
up with the name of the executable file in the Window not
the name of the batch file
c:\winnt\system32\my_exe.exe
content of batch file startprog.bat:
=====================
echo
etc
start my_exe

I would like the window to show the name of the batch file
Any suggestions - Thanks,

Can't you just put a print statement (with a pause) in the beginning of your BAT file? or use echo command in the bat file?

-hope this helps Joseph L. Poandl

No it's not that easy.I would like the name to appear at the top in the title bar.
 
Use the title command:
title my_batch_file
