Where's Windows Media Player 6.4 on XP?

[statetech]

I know you can use the Run - mplayer2 command but where is exactly the exe file?
I have a shortcut program that I use very extensively, but I need to find the file in order to create a shortcut to it.
Done searches on various combinations of 'mplayer2' with no success?

Ideas?

XP comes with WMP 6.4 installed 🙂
I just need the direct file.. hee hee

if you can run via the command line, then it'll be somewhere around C:/WINDOWS/ or whatever your drive letter may be.

Overwrite with the install, do a search for *.exe within the Windows directory, and use the Time Modified bar to find the the executable.

Just run "mplayer2" from the "Run..." command. I switched to it cuz I just love pausing with a mouse click! 🙂

Edit: nm, i'm retarted 🙁 You already know that...

from a command prompts:

cd \
dir /s mplayer2.exe

thats i how found it two weeks ago at my cousin's house. long live DOS 😀

Ok, it should be in c:\program files\Windows Media Player\


see, I'm not totally useless 😉

To actually answer the question it's in the same place as wmp 8 is. So go to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and it's in there, just make a shortcut to it on the desktop or where ever you like.

Can we still overwrite mplayer with mplayer2 to make 6.4 the default player?
I am sick of the WMP8 spyware.

why can't you just search the hard drive for mplayer2.exe ? 😕 lazy are we?
