Yes, of course, that's what I meant. %0 refers to the filename itself, not to a parameter passed to the batch file.
I experimented a little; a single line (start %0) can be interrupted eventually, but the two lines open new instances faster than a user can interrupt.
Don't anybody try this while important work is going on!
