New to The Green Button so don't know if this is the right forum to put this, but...
I created a desktop shortcut that opens WMC and starts playing my music collection (shuffle).
Is there a way to create a button on the WMC menu to do this?
Instead of having to go into Music, Music Library, Category (Songs, Artist, Album, etc.) and then selecting Play All.
You just click on the button and it starts playing.
%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /playallmusic
Thanks

right click on WMC icon when open/pinned to start menu, in frequent you could pin or copy that icon to desktop or wherever desired.
If you need to make a icon inside WMC you need to use a tool such as MCE reset toolbox and add it to your start menu in WMC.

What I discovered is...
If you go to Tasks, Settings, Music, Favorite Music
And click on Use an Auto Playlist:
And select All Music
When you go to the Music menu and select Play Favorites
It will play ALL your Music and if you previously selected Shuffle, it will shuffle ALL of your Music.
Guess I should have looked around before posting this.
But I will check out the MCE reset toolbox.
I would like to rename it from Play Favorites to Shuffle (or something else).
Thanks for the tip!
