Media player

This is a simple question but its really bugging me.I WMP is there any way of stacking up files so it will play one after the other without a break?.The reason for this is im downloading movies in two parts and putting them onto video and if i could set them of going and leave them to it knowing that when the first finished the second would start that would make my life a whole lot easier.
Thanks in advance.

You could just join them together into one big movie. That would do the job

I think there is a way to do that in the Media Player that comes with Windows XP, but I'll have to wait until sunday afternoon to check it out for sure....

Its ok ive figured it out.It involves going to media libraryand making a playlist.This means i can stack up as many movies as i want and they play without breaks one after each other.The only problem i have now is deleting the old playlist's.When ive finished with a playlist ive deleted it,but then it goes to deleated items and i cant get rid of it from there.The only thing is i have about 20 in this list already.Does anybody know how to get rid od deleted items in this box?

All you have to do to delete the old playlists is click on it and hit the Delete key, then say "yes" you want to delete it from the Media Library.

Another way to load up multiple files at one time is go to FILE > OPEN then go to the directory you have them in, provided they are in one large directory and hold down the CONTROL button, click on all the movies you want to. They will load alphabetically, but you can stop it from playing the first one, then in the playlist click and drag them up or down to rearrange them.

If you have movies in different folders then I'm not sure how to add them to the currently playing ones other than adding them to a new playlist. It would be nice if you right click on a file, then choose Add to current playlist.
