Windows iTunes Windows 7 Scripts

So, I want to basically get iTunes to automatically start a playlist in shuffle mode each time it launches.

I can see you can do it on Mac with the help of Applescripts but am unable to find a way to do it on Windows.

Background: This is for a car PC install. I already have the machine booting/shutting down on ignition on/off and opening itunes on startup... obviously. Just missing this last step! I could most likely do it with autohotkey but was hoping for a simple script within itunes so its more reliable.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Ok if anyone's interested, best way to do it via AutoHotkey

Code:

IfWinExist ahk_class iTunes
{
    WinActivate
}
else
{
    WinWait ahk_class iTunes
    WinActivate
}

ControlSend,,{space} , ahk_class iTunes
