hello

I tried to play a wav file with

system('start','','C:\WINDOWS\Media\tada.wav');
[download]

but it played it in my windows media player as default like it would if I just double-clicked the file.

what I'm trying to do is to play it without opening any media player,
like windows itself does with wav files when they are used automatically when an event occurs like:
connecting/disconnecting a usb device,starting/ending, windows, receiving alert, etc...

So I figured those cases are when windows itself plays the wav file so I tried:

system('start','win','C:\WINDOWS\Media\tada.wav');
[download]

which did nothing.
and

system('start','win32','C:\WINDOWS\Media\tada.wav');
[download]

which got an error (something about windows was unable to find win32, same for anything I tried in its place (including 'windows'))

So.. yeah I got nothing.
Is there a simple way to do this ?
Most preferable without depending on modules.

Thx
