"D:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /fullscreen
or
"D:\Documents and Settings\Dubhbairn\Desktop\Choralone.mpg" /fullscreen

....in the shortcut's target folder do NOT start WMP in fullscreen mode.
I want to put a shortcut in startup that plays a short fullscreen video when
windows starts up.

Can someone try this and get it to work?
And if so, post the shortcut here that works?

Thanks for trying Neil.
