If the files are ripped and saved to a folder on the PC, then a batch file or script shortcut on the desktop can be pointed to that folder and start the movie running. The part in bold, is the location of the media player (VLC in this case). The second part is where the movie resides. The example below is typed in notepad and saved as Kindercop.bat and saved to the desktop. To start Kindergarten Cop, click on the shortcut. "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\My Documents\DivXtoDVD\Kindergarten Cop"
