This has nothing to do with PowerShell :p
That said, I was sitting here working on ye olde blog when I thought “I want to listen to some Foo Fighters”…then I minimized WMP and it just…minimized. I wanted mini mode, where I get all of the controls on the taskbar…it works on my laptop, why not my desktop?
I don’t know why this took me so long to find. Wait, yes I do. I was looking all over WMP 11 for the setting. Turns out it isn’t there. To get WMP 11 to minimize to the taskbar (aka, mini-mode), right click your taskbar, go to toolbars, and make sure Windows Media Player is checked. Maybe I turned that off on my own a while ago and forgot it was there. I can’t remember the default behavior.
What makes this all more amusing is that I have a Logitech G15 keyboard, which has all of the controls right on top…
I was looking for this >>
Cheers mate
nice one
thanks a lot
yay, cheers
I was staring at my player confused as hell then I decided to chrome this. Thanks!
I also have a control function on my keyboard in the top right corner but ahh.. its more visually pleasing to have it in minimode..
thanks a lot
Oh My Goodness. You don’t know how happy this makes me man!!! I was looking all over the Media Player for this like you. Thanks 100x man!!!
No problem! :)
I have a problem… I tried that on my laptop, but still doesn’t show the mini-mode of the player, what can I do?

Yeah, over two years after your original post, and it’s still relevant. I fought with this all day before I finally googled and found your very helpful post. Thanks!
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!
I have and always have had WMP selected in toolbars, but since I decided to select Links in the toolbars pop up, WMP no longer minimizes to mini mode. I have deselected Links but to no avail, it just minimizes like any other page, mini player will not come back…!!!!
