Command Prompt Disappears in Win7

I had this issue for last 6 months. Command prompt window used to disappear immediately after launch. This link was very useful to solve the issue.

As suggested in the answer, You have to delete the AutoRun value set as Exit in the Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor).
