How to play .wav from command line (in Norton Scheduler)

I'd like to automatically play several wave files at various times. I have Norton Scheduler, and I am able to launch sndrec32.exe with the appropriate file loaded, but it just sits there and waits for me to press the "play" button. c:\windows\Sndrec32.exe h:\my documents\greg\420.wav and "H:\My Documents\Greg\420.wav" both accomplish the launch of sndec32, but they don't play. Isn't there a switch or something that will load sndrec32, play the selected file, and then have sndrec32 go away -- just like double-clicking on a .wav file in Explorer does? I've checked the online help in both Windows, sndrec32 and Norton, but none of these has the answer. Any pointers would be most appreciated.

C:\WINDOWS\sndrec32.exe /play /close D:\Yamaha\Songs\abc.wav The command line should be "C:\WINDOWS\sndrec32.exe /play" . You can also edit the command line to "C:\WINDOWS\sndrec32.exe /play /close". Then the player will disappear after playing the wav-file. Another fine option is " C:\WINDOWS\sndrec32.exe /play /embedding". Then you will not see the player. Your file will come from background.
