It should be pretty simple. You'd have to create a shortcut which
tells media player which file to play when loading : the command is
documented here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmplay10/mmp_sdk/commandlineparameters.asp
What I'd do : Find your existing media player shortcut on your windows
desktop. Right click it and choose "Create Shortcut" - you should now
see a Windows Media Player (2) shortcut.
Right click that and choose "Properties", then the "Shortcut" tab.
In the box labelled "Target", you want to modify the last part of that
text. It will probably end in /prefetch:1 (if not, just type it in
after the ending " quote, with a space first then the video file path
and name)
Delete that and type in the exact path to your video : For example if
I have a video in J:\AV\UVS052004-001-12.AVI then type that where the
prefetch line was.
