How to use powershell to autoplay a folder of mp3 files using Windows Media Player on Windows 7 startup. I figure that there are two aspects: 1) the script must run automatically when Windows starts up 2) the script must call Media Player to open the folder and play the files therein

    What have you tried? This isn't a place to come ask for people to write stuff for you. Break it down. You want a script to run on login, maybe scheduled tasks. You want to start a media player with a list of files... How do you get files in Powershell? How do you send files to a media player over the command line. Maybe you even need to build a playlist file... – Chris N May 02 '17 at 01:10

Perhaps you could make a playlist from that folder in Windows Media Player.

Then you could call windows media player with a commandline switch, which tells it to open and play a certain playlist. You can find some information on commandline switches for WMP here: [http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1389/windows-media-player-wmp-11-command-line-options/]

When that is done, you would create a scheduled job, to fire your WMP script every time you log on. Information for that part can be found here: [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748993(v=ws.11).aspx]
