Is it possible?

I was wondering if it was possible to make an .exe or .bat to do the following actions:
1.play video file using default video player for the file type.
1. alternatively, play the video file using specific video player.
2 upon completion of the video, delete the video file and the .bat or .exe, bypassing the recycle bin.

If this is possible I would greatly appreciate it if said code could be posted along with the language used.

Thanks in advance.

1a) *Path to video file* will play the video in whatever player is assigned to that video as a default.

1b) *Path to player EXE* *Path to video file* usually works fine, but unless you always want one or the other you're going to have to put up with both

2) del *Path to video file*
del *Path to bat*

Then compile with Bat To Exe (though if you're going to take this step ensure that when you reference the bat you use a .exe ending instead of .bat...

Cheers,
Jamey
