Windows Media Player 11 has a neat feature that allows it to ‘dock’ to your taskbar. Perhaps other versions also had this, but it’s the first time I’m seeing/using this option.It makes switching between tracks and seeing the title and album of the song that’s playing quite easy.
The option pops up the first time you try to Minimise Windows Media Player 11. Just respond in the affirmative and the media player control will be added to your taskbar.
It’s been in previous WMP versions as well (I think 8 and up). On windows xp, right click on the taskbar, choose “Toolbars” and then select Windows Media Player.

Can anybody tell me how to get the player to dock properly? Ever since I updated to 11 it stopped docking.
Even though I enabled the WMP taskbar, when I minimize it doesn’t dock. (It creates a space on the taskbar though)
Please email me.

Actually nevermind, Rebooting fixed it… I’m a doofus.
