When you execute the 'winvnc -run' the batch file sits and waits for the program to stop before it will continue on. Since vnc runs indefinitly, then the batch file waits indefintily for it to return, its not froze, its just the way batch files work.Wscript will allow for you to run a program keep the script running. Easiest way is to write it in vbscript.
