Switching between tasks in Windows Task Scheduler
I'm setting up a Win 10 PC that will run Windows media player with different media sources (audio) at different times during the day. Have found two ways to do this -
One is to have wmplayer stop any running instances when starting a new task (under the task settings).
The other way is to run two actions: first a taskkill /IM wmplayer.exe and then wmplayer /Playlist mylist.
Using taskkill seems more "brutal", but I don't have any experienc when it comes to terminating applications this way..
Any comments?

Will go for taskkill.
Tried to do this (as mentioned in my question) within wmplayer, but found that it wasn't 100& reliable in my testing.
