In the standard installation in the folder C:\Program Files\mplayer\codecs

The first version restarts mplayer, forgetting settings such as screen 
size, window position and volume between repetitions. The second 
version repeats the file in the same window and keeps all settings.
If you have several files, then the first version will play all
of them, and then play them again, while the second version will 
play all of them and then keep playing the last one (unless you
put the files in parentheses).

Other people have tried... I only say Yahoo Mail.
