I don't usually use Windows Media Player, but when I do, I usually click on the correct icon in the start menu.

Try looking into the [url= http://72.5.124.55/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html]Runtime[/url] class.

No one cares about Duke Dollars, and no one is going to spoon-feed you. If you want to get better, then you need to figure out how to do things on your own. I gave you the class to need to look into, along with a link to the documentation. If you can't figure out how to use it by reading the documentation, then search on google for some examples.

You can see here how to open html in IE. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5119336You can use the same idea to open media files in WMP.

Do you need to open Media Player, or do you need to open the default application for playing video and audio files? In case of the latter you can use the Desktop class to launch the file.

Hey Everybody,

Please use this code to start media player from Java

public class mplayer

{

public static void main(String file[]) throws Exception

{

Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime();

/*wmplayer is the command name and put one space after command name and then type the file name or pass the runtime arguments.*/

r.exec("wmplayer "+s1[0]);

}

A related question that I have, is if you open another program using Runtime, can you control it further. I know that it can be launched and closed as I've seen much code that can do this by google search, but can you do other things to the program especially, can you give the app focus?

If I can get it the focus, then with the robot can do lots of manipulations to the app.
