how can I make a .bat file so that win win xp starts up it will start winamp and hit play? HOW DO!! HOW DO!! HOW DO!!

Hi archangel13, Use Notepad. Type this in there: start "c:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" "c:\MyMusicFolder\MyMusicFile.mp3" Save the file as a .bat file. Put the file in your 'StartUp' folder: c:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup In short, that start-line is this: start "Fullpath2Program" "Fullpath2Document" The " marks are used when there are spaces in the path, so XP recognizes that it's one path-string. ___________________________________________ ☺ [Belgium, GMT+1]_________________________svg

you could also set the file type .mp3 to use winamp and put a shortcut to whatever mp3 file you want to play in the start menu. no bat file required
