plug-in to keep windows media player in full-screen on dual-display system

[Madd Scientist]

does anyone know of a plug-in or program i can get to keep the
full-screen mode on in Windows Media Player, even if the focus is lost?
i've got a dual-monitor system, and i want the secondary monitor to
keep the file playing in full-screen, even if I click on the desktop on
the primary monitor (which currently causes the playback to revert to
the title bar screen). any suggestions would be much appreciated,
thanks.

Not sure if it will work but you might look at Power Toys for XP

One application is:

Virtual Desktop Manager
Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this
PowerToy.

Or maybe something from

I understand what you mean....since I have multi-monitors too....

I have not seen such a plug-in but you can take at look at the resource
links I have
at the bottom of my page here:
http://www.computerboom.net/download/wmp-comparisons.htm

and here http://www.wmplugins.com/

If you dont find a solution there, you can download another media player
like BSPLAYER [free] that will do what you want. By the way bsplayer has the
best slow motion and fast forward ability I have ever seen in a player, and
many other things that are great....

The latest BS player has a spyware inside (Whenu Save).. but the previous
version is ok.

You can download the previous spyware-free version from here:

the official site is this:
