Docking WMP

swarfega · 13 Apr 2009

Have MS removed the ability to dock wmp into the taskbar like you could with vista? I thought that was rather nice feature.

It should be automatically docked upon installation.

Yes my wmp is docked in the task bar too . Strange yours is not ?

Nah thats the new win7 pinned wmp. Im talking about the vista docking way with the media controls showing on the taskbar.

Yes it was a nice little feature, maybe they will still make one latter.

Ah ty sorry for that then :) Not a great WMP user myself use KMplayer
Now that you have bought my attention to it WMP seems to be severely limited in options department

+1 on that!!!
Also rather annoying is the fact when you minimize media player and launch another music file from a folder for example, media player jumps back into view on the desktop rather than stay minimized.....humph!!!

Maybe that is the new docking method because you can pause, forward and rewind with it.

Well if it is, I prefer the old one
