VLC Shortcut Play Folder
This program allows to create a shortcut to a folder full of videos
(or even containing other video-filled subfolders)
and play them, either alphabetically or randomly.
It is a more dynamic means as creating a static playlist.
It is particularly useful if your folders keep being updated with new videos.
