    Keeping Windows Media Player minimized?

    I use Windows Media Player to listen to my music collection, and I like having it minized to the toolbar.
    However, I'd like for it not to be restored each time I load a new file. Is it possible to keep Windows Media Player minimized to the toolbar?

    move your mouse to the taskbar at the bottom.

    Right Click - select toolbars and then Media Player

    Volia - you should have the icons there to control it when minimised and it should not change when changing mp3

    When I right click on the taskbar and choose toolbars, 'Windows Media Player' is already checked.

    When I use WMP, minimizing it sends it to the toolbar in it's mini form and I do have the basic controls, stop, skip track etc. But when I load a new file, WMP is restored again. doh!

    press the little down arrow to the right of the windows logo, you should then get a control list.

    If the function you want isn't there then no I don't know of a way...
    Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net
