I hope to have a play about with this and mozzie's example code, tonight or in the next few days.  I'll keep the thread updated.

The first thing I plan to do, is basically run mozzie's example code as-is, so that I can(hopefully!) replicate that behaviour here.  Once I have the example code working, I can start playing about.  I plan to make use of DATE$ and TIME$ as I expand the code.

I already have a couple of very useful commands for use with IrfanView picture viewer, which I plan to use to show an image full-screen when nothing is being played, then I can kill that process and start VLC.

Amusingly, the command to close all IrfanView instances is i_view64 /killmesoftly  

I think this is a reference to Killing Me Softly With His Song.
