How to start WMP minimized when playing audio CDs?

[BytE]

I really like the WMP toolbar that appears on taskbar when I minimize
WMP, but every time I play any file/CD it starts in normal mode. Now,
that usually doesn't bother me cause I don't use WMP for playing audio
files, but I do use it for audio CDs.

So, any way to make it start minimized when playing audio CDs?
Something in registry perhaps? Or is there a switch that makes it
start minimized (/minimize ???)

Btw, I am using WMP 10 Technical Beta, but if it works on WMP9 it
should probably work on WMP10 too...

try installing the media player bonus back that has a tray controler
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/bonuspack.aspx

also you can try right clicking on the WMP shortcut and in the RUN box
select MINIMIZED

tell me if this onfo helps

Thanks, I will give it a try. Downloading it right now

I don't think it'd work since it would run WMP minimized only when I
click on shortcut, and besides - I only want it minimized when I'm
playing audio CDs.

Oh, and, I just discovered another problem. After reboot, it wouldn't
create a WMP toolbar, but would just add a standard WMP button on
taskbar (well, until I re-enabled the toolbar). The computer was
correctly shut down. It doesn't bother me much (I rarely reboot or
turn off the comp), but it would be better if it remembered the
preferences.

Thanks
