Windows Media Player Toolbar

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Hi Trushar
The Media Player toolbar is part of Windows Media Player 9. While you would
get the toolbar as part of Service Pack 2 (because Media Player 9 is
included in it) you don't specifically need to install the service pack to
get the toolbar.

Have you already installed Windows Media Player 9 from Windows Update or the
Windows Media site?

Okay, right click on an empty area of the taskbar, select toolbars and make
sure 'Windows Media Player' has a check next to it. Then start Media Player
9 and minimise it, once the program has been minimised the toolbar player
should appear.
