Hide Media Player

[talkshowhost]

Hey guys
Is it possible to 'hide' windows media player to the task bar? I don't mean as the mini-player but as a little icon like a running task on the far right of the bar (next to the clock).
I have looked around and can't find anything except how to set it in 'mini mode' - surely it can be done... I've seen Winamp with a similar feature.

Cheers! :cowboy:

EDIT: Ooh and I have WMP 10 on XP Pro SP2 if that helps.

I use this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/bppowertoys.aspx There is a program in the powertoys that hides your program to the system tray. You can control the volume, next track, etc. by just right-clicking the system tray icon.
