Hi Cookies,

To turn WMP11 into mini-mode, you just need to right click on the taskbar of your desktop, left click on Toolbars and left click on Windows Media Player. WMP will then show two arrow icons at the bottom right. One for compact mode, the other for full screen mode. :thumb:

! Please note: I honestly don't know whether this will work for you now though, because the link you followed was rather old (2003) intended for XP rather than Vista, and therefore an earlier version of WMP. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can advise you how to restore your changes.

Good luck :)

Cookies, you might want to try System Restore (assuming that you have a restore point on your PC which pre-dates your Registgry changes?) Please read HERE first, where you will find more detailed info.

The right click taskbar > toolbars then click Windows Media Player. Then in Media player just click minimize and it will sit in your taskbar.
