You could add "pause" and "EXIT", and if you wanted it to look a bit nicer and not show the commands you could use "@ECHO OFF" and "ECHO" for any text you do want to show, also "ECHO." will make a line break.

example:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO Deleting TMP files. Please wait...
ECHO.
ECHO.

cd..
cd..
cd..
cd..
del *.tmp /s

ECHO.
pause
EXIT

Also, why not use the full path to the files you want to delete, instead of using "cd.. cd.. cd.. cd..", use "cd C:\WINDOWS".

example:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO Deleting TMP files. Please wait...
ECHO.
ECHO.

cd C:\WINDOWS

del *.tmp /s

ECHO.
pause
EXIT
