Change that line to "call c:\bat\vde72.bat"

When you want to run a batchfile from within another batch file, you
must use the form "CALL OTHER.BAT" if you want to return to the original
batch file when the other one exits.

Leaving out the word "CALL" causes a switch to the other batchfile and
prevents a return to the original one.
