control videolan by remote

[eddymouse]

(I writed on Windows forum.Maybe here is better. Sorry)
Hi. I'm using vlc on Windows XP.
I need to create a video presentation. I need to play, stop, go to a point, pause and load another video via remote mode. I need that the OSD menu don't display. I need to restart the video without closing and reopen the window.
What is the best way to do this?
I try via keyboard shortcuts but I don't like it. It is possible to use antoher way?
Thanks a lot
