Thanks, this is very close, if not exactly what I need. I had assumed that when you minimize WMP that the app itself became the toolbar, but it looks as if it calls a small, seperate com object.

The DeskBand hosts the control. If you use Spy++ to find the window, you'll see that there is an ATL control hosted by an ActiveX host inside of a WMPXDeskBand.
