When starting the Windows Media Player from a command prompt, you can specify several startup parameters.
The Windows Media Player has several command line options:
| • | /open: Open the file, don't automatically start playing. |
| • | /play: Start playing the file as soon the player is launched. |
| • | /close: Close the player after playback (only works when used with /play). |
| • | /fullscreen: Start the file in full-screen mode. |
| • | /new: Use a new instance of the player. |
For example, to play a file and close the player when done:
Mplayer2.exe /play /close C:\Asfroot\Sample.asf
