does minimize to the taskbar work for you? (on 2k)?

Just tried but it doesn't. Looks like that feature is exclusive to XP.:(

About the minimize function ... there is one major condition for it to work properly ... allow your videocard to animate your windows in Minimize/Maximize mode ... oh and try to close the Language bar from the taskbar

Do you minimize from the titlebar (large) minimize button, or from the small minimize button on the blue part of the player next to the drop-down selection box? Or both work?

All the ways to minimize WMP, minimize to Taskbar for me, and my taskbar is locked.

I sure love the controls when minimized, beats that crappy ShellAudioPlayer, thats for sure.

Sure works great for watchin video while still surfin, lol.

Shmanky is envious! I really liked the old ShellAudioPlayer and this one looks good as it's integrated with the main player. Are you people running SP1 with MP9 and can minimize? I'm running SP1 1073 and can't minimize.

Who knows, there might be a way to enable it that we haven't figured out yet. I had d/l it and installed it without rebooting but winlogon just gave me an error and 2k restarted, now I'm seeing "Windows 2000 Professional. For testing purposes only. Build 2109" in the bottom right corner of the screen.:s

I *think* he means Control Panel > System > Advanced > Settings > Visual Effects

What mine does when I minimize it is it doesnt instantly go to taskbar, it does then it resets itself with a little "sliding to the left" animation.

I have the allow animation thing on.. what about the Language bar?
