Store the batch console on the screen as an active window

what I want to achieve is to run some directories (folders), but in the background and save the batch console on the front of the screen as active windows. For example, I have a package with a selection list, when I click 1) the assigned directory opens on the screen, and the batch console remains on top, like an active window, so I can choose another action to start and continue ... the batch console should stay on top, so that I can first open several actions, close the batch file and start working on open windows.

Hope that is clear :)

The selection list is very long, so the part below.

@echo off  
:List  
cls  
echo select from list  
echo.  
echo 1) Postage  
echo 2) Documents  
echo 3) EXIT  
echo.  
set /p option=select:  
if %option%==1 goto option1  
if %option%==2 goto documents  
:option1  
Start d:\Postage  
goto List  
pause  
:option2  
Start d:\documents  
goto List  
pause
