bat script keeps running windows

In windows, if you have a command line executable with the same name of your 
bat filename, and the batch file contains this command, the batch file keeps 
looping.

Example:

Create the file net.bat on your desktop.
In your file write this text: net
Double click the file and it will keep looping.

The cause of this behaviour is the order of execution of the commands. 
The command you want to execute is in one of the folders in your path. 
But the batch file is in your current folder so it gets executed first, 
causing the loop.

Are there any code examples left?
