Help! Where is my WMP Taskbar in Windows 7?
Unfortunately your Windows Media Player toolbar is gone! Yeah, Microsoft has made a tremendous amount of improvements in both Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12, but somebody over there isn’t thinking all of the changes through. One cool feature about Windows Media Player 11 is the ability to minimize to the toolbar and still control your media, but not with WMP 12.
Luckily for me I stumbled across this blog which describes how to get the WMP toolbar minimization feature back with WMP 12… of course after some slight modifications. The only “problem” I experienced is when closing WMP 12 after the modification the program doesn’t actually close, WMP just sits on my taskbar. Fine with me though cause I have a lot of room.
Head on over to http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/media-player-taskband-windows-7.html to get the instructions and the cool toolbar feature back in WMP 12.
Thanks for the tip….I was wondering about this, but have abandoned WMP and elected for VLC.
