Mediaplayer 11 minize to taskbar

[Guest arienver@Hetemeel.com]

I would like media player 11 to minimize to the taskbar (just as can be done

in XP 32 bit) but..... for some reason the toolbar 'media player' is NOT

shown when i right click on the taskbar.

 

Is there a solution or workaround available?

 

Regards,

Arien

Unfortunately, no. The problem is that Media Player 11 is 32-bit, not

64-bit. Windows Explorer (and the task bar) are 64-bit. That toolbar player

is a 32-bit DLL. A 64-bit EXE can't load a 32-bit DLL, just as a 32-bit EXE

can't load a 64-bit DLL.

 

The only solution would be for Media Player to produce a 64-bit DLL that

could be loaded into the task bar. For Windows Vista 64bit, there is one.

For XP x64, there is not, I'm sorry to say.
