    I don't use VLC but I'm fairly sure there's a switch that automatically closes it after playing music/etc.

      you have to know the full path of were it is.  Its not like you can type mspaint and have it come up cause it is a internal command.  What you can do is make a bat and run it like that so that you wont have to call up the path all the time.
