Task Scheduler

[Jeffpo]

This is a basic question about the task scheduler. I
want to use it to launch media player to start playing a
playlist or other music selections. I can browse to the
file wmplayer.exe and it puts the following command
line. C:\program files\windows media player\wmplayer.exe
in the run field. However, media player never opens up.
I also am not sure how to specify what to play
automatically when it is supposed to start.

I could really use some pointers in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jeffpo

I found what I was looking for on the MSDN site.

It took some playing around with it but I did get it
working.
