VBS Script to pause Windows Media Player

[s***@gmail.com]

I'm looking for a simple VBS Script that will pause Windows Media Player when run in a command prompt window.

I tried looking for such a program (seems a simple enough idea) but everything I found just confused me more.

My plan is to use the Task Scheduler to intercept when my desktop locks, and automatically pause the player.

I already have most of this process in place; my Scheduler task runs a script that turns the display power off.

Otherwise I am afraid you have to send a sendkeys, in which case you can
need to know the state before it :

player.state
