I have two "Win2K Professional" machines handy (Dell, IMB -- with different hardware configuations), and they both exhibit this same odd behavior.
Both machines have Windows Media Player v9.0, along with the older v6.4 still in place.
WMP v9.0 can be started with a Desktop shortcut, a Start Menu shortcut, or a RUN window command:
But, I CANNOT start WMP v9.0 on a pre-scheduled basis with an "AT command"Code:C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~2\wmplayer.exe
although WMP v6.4 (and all other media players) start fineCode:AT 18:30 /interactive /every:Su C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~2\wmplayer.exe
Could somebody with this same combination of OS/software try it and see if you get this same odd behavior?Code:AT 18:30 /interactive /every:Su C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~2\mplayer2.exe
If you're unfamiliar with the "AT command", here's the official Microsoft page:

I'm really just looking for "sanity support" here. Does this really NOT work, or am I going crazy?
Thanks.
Jerry
