    Quick update for Windows 10 Users.

    These are the literal steps I followed to get this working.

    1) Downloaded x64 Version
    2) Elevated Command Prompt

    * net stop WMPNetworkSvc
    * regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmpband.dll"
    * net start WMPNetworkSvc

    I opened WMP and minimized it but the toolbar wasn't there. I then placed the wmpband.dll in the (x86) WMP Folder and it was there. So it needs to go in both folders at least on W10.

    EDIT: Confirmed working on 2017 Fall Creators Update

Hi. I'm really sad that Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 don't have the "classic" preview in taskbar.
