Solve : Is It Possible To Start A .Bat File At Startup Of My PC??

Answer»

Hi, I'm kind of new to making .BAT scripts. However, I managed to make a file that opens up google, my media player playlist and MSN but what would be really usefull is to open it up at the start up of my PC. Is it possible to do so?

(I use a Windows Vista OS)


Also is it possible to open the media player minimized?

Kind Regards,

Which player? ... Windows Media Player?

If so, I doubt it is possible.

I didn't see that as an OPTION. I think that if it were an option, it would be mentioned there.
I found that page by googling "windows media player command line". You might want to give it a try... maybe you'll have better luck with what you find than I did.


How about Winamp though? Will Winamp play whatever it is you need to play? I use it for MUSIC occasionally.
I did find a free program to control Winamp from the command line. Downloaded and tried it. I didn't take time to experiment with all the options it offers - and there are a lot! - but I did make it launch Winamp minimized. (Win98SE and Winamp v.5.24 here) It worked fine.

Winamp Heaven, if you need an older version of Winamp.

Found with Google - "winamp command line" - if you want to give that a shot too.
(As ALWAYS, if you download this .EXE, be sure to scan it with an up-to-date AV program. I had no problem with it. Scanned it with AVG)


I hope this helps.
