How to get Windows Media Player attached into the taskbar?

Published on April 24, 2006 By Xeno326 In WindowBlinds

Here's an example of how it's done. What exactly allows you to do this?

What you want to do is for WMP 9+. Simply right-click on the Taskbar choose "Toolbars" and click on "Windows Media Player". The player will then appear on the Taskbar when you Minimize it.

Ok well thats cool, and I probably woulda ran into that before asking this question but as a WinXP Pro x64 user I am not seeing Windows Media Player as a toolbar option in that menu.. =/

Well I looked deeper into the situation and in the help files it explains how to get the mini-player. The same way you said, but I think it's not compatable with WinXP Pro x64... wtf? lol Ahwell... If anyone on this OS gets that function to work let me know.

Its a neat addition, which if it weren't for one thing I might consider using WMP. It isn't skinnable by WB, so it looks out of place in many skins.
