[vlc] Re: VideoLAN as default player under W2000

[Andre Cretegny]

Fabien,
You can try that:

@echo off
start /D"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VideoLAN
Client-041\" vlc.exe %1

with this, I can drag and drop a movie file onto the
vlc.bat icon, and vlc starts and immediately the movie
window starts too...
