I have created several .exe shortcuts on my drive using Batch To Exe Converter for ease of access. (See "Integrating non-portable apps into the PortableApps Platform")
So for example, to make a shortcut to git-gui, I made the following batch .bat file, then converted it to an exe using Batch To Exe Converter.
cd cmd & git-gui.exe
The issue is that the .exe shortcut seems to stay in memory even after the main program closes. As a result, I can't safely eject my drive due to it being "in use". Why won't my shortcut exit once it's done running?
Answer
The CMD shortcut is waiting for your main program to exit. You need to use the start command to run it instead.
cd cmd & start git-gui.exe
