How can I automatically play a movie in Windows Media Player?
You can easily play a DVD or WMV or any file format that Windows Media Player supports from within the AutoRun Wizard. You have to tell AutoRun Wizard that you want to launch wmplayer.exe from the client's machine (the machine that is loading your cd/dvd with the autorun). Then you have to check the box to load wmplayer.exe outside of the Base Folder (because it is not on your cd/dvd). Enter in the macro %BASE_FOLDER% to specify the root path on the cd-rom. Then you enter the file you want to open/play in the Command Line box. Add quotes around the entire command line to ensure that any long file names work properly. See below for an example screenshot:
