How do I start windows media player in random all songs mode?

Every time I start media player I go through this routine… double click on the little music symbol next to ‘songs’, this starts playing all songs in sequence.

Then I click on the ‘edit now playing button’ then click on the dropdown and choose ‘shuffle list now’

Then I scroll to the top and double-click the first song (because when you shuffle the same song keeps playing but the cursor is somewhere in the list where the song has ended up after shuffling.

I don’t play ‘shuffle’ (pick a random next song) because I like to see what’s coming next.
Is there any way I can get all of the above to happen in default when I double click media player icon on my quicklaunch bar? Do I have to create a playlist containing all songs?

I was going to ask if i can also have it run minimized so it’s on the start bar but I figured that one out (right click the shortcut and choose run minimized)

Haven’t had a chance to look at it but you take a peep at:
