Hi

I am a semi noob to Win32 C++. Could anyone tell me what libraries/
functions are involved to...

Open Windows Media Player & make it play a movie file.

Is it possible to do this using Win32 functions? I know how to locate
the movie file & get the movie file path but not how to make c++ play
the movie file using Windows Media Player.

ShellExecute with the "open" verb will open a file with the default
application for that type of file.

When you look up a function in MSDN there is a box on the page that
tells you which include file and lib file it needs: Check it out:
