    Send a folder to Windows Media Player?

    Is this possible?

    I've made a shortcut to Windows Media Player in

    C:\Documents and Settings\mark\SendTo

    which allows me to send a file or a bunch of selected files to media player, but is there a way that i can send the folder (im lazy, and if i can avoid a few more clicks, i'll do it)...
    If i try to send a folder to media player (via Send To) it complains that it doesnt understand the media (im assuming its trying to parse a folder as some media?), but is there a command-line parameter that will allow it to accept a folder (i havent found anything after 10mins of googling)

    Any ideas? or am i trying to do the impossible?

    Cheers

    Can't you just Right-click on the folder and select "add to now playing list"? That's just two clicks, and it should add all the music / media in the subfolders.
    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.
