Re: have vbscript open media player in a top left window without border

  I've never used WMP but I think the object
your want is WMPlayer.ocx. The type library
is in wmp.dll. With a type library reader you
can look up your options. (You may not understand
that. If not then you probably need to do some
research.)

  As I understand it, the "object" is an ActiveX
control. It doesn't run as a program. You can
put it on a webpage, maybe in an HTA, which
you can then control to some extent. But ActiveX
controls don't run independently. So maybe you
could create an HTA with a WMP in it. To automate
that you'd need another script to launch it. Your
position/resize options would be with the HTA, not
WMP.

  In short, you're asking about details in what
would probably be a complex set of scripts and
IE/HTA automations. You might be better off to
just look online for options to play video on the
Desktop.
