Windows Media Player: Command Line Arguments
If you’ve wanted to start Media Player up in «Play Mode» or «Library Mode», you can modify the shortcut icon to include some arguments which affect its startup behaviour.
To start it in Library Mode (which looks better in Windows 7) or Playing Mode (better in XP), change the shortcut to the following
«C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe» /Task MediaLibrary
Library Mode looks better in Windows 7, but Now Playing Mode looks better in XP, so to use that replace «MediaLibrary» with «NowPlaying«.
There are loads of other options listed below.
