WMP12 + Win 7 taskbar control

[Spinal2k2]

Win XP and WMP 11 (not sure if Vista does the same),

but you could set WMP via the task bar to have a small control bar that would go to the left of the task bar if WMP was minimised, and give the play controls (ie play stop, next etc).

Is it possible to get this back with WMP12 and Win 7. Tried clicing away through menus but its not there.

It does this when you hover over the taskbar button but you dont get the same functionality you did from WMP11 with XP/Vista.

The toolbar is gone now for 7, though as said, if you hover over it provides the same functionality.

Have you looked at winamp? It's quite customisable and can be shrunk down to a small bar with the default config, and there is a plugin to bring hover over controls like WMP to it as well.
