By default the Winamp player is not configured to behave that way. This means that every time you start any video file and the playback begins, even if you switch to any other window or any interface that the player has, the video playback does not stop.
If your instance of Winamp player automatically stops the video playback whenever you open any other interface of the application, this means that the default settings that the player has are messed up. Likely reasons for such misconfiguration can be any incompatible application, or mishandling of the player by any novice user.
In either case, you can easily revert the misconfigured settings in the Winamp player without involving the computer administrator, or using any account that has administrative privileges.
After following the instructions given in this tutorial, you will be able to configure your instance of Winamp player in a way so that it no longer stops the video playback whenever you try to open any other window, or you switch to any other interface that the program has.
