Yeah, that's what I used to be able to do.

Media player is not there, I have "Desktop" and "Quick Launch".

If you minimise the player you should be given the option for "mini" taskbar mode...

well jus below all the toolbars their will b an option called "New Toolbar.."..choose that...choose ur OS partition > program files > windows media player ...that shld do it....it may hav disappeared cuz u right clicked it by mistake

Neither those work.
