How do I minimize Windows Media Player into a desk-bar?

Hi

Before I rebooted my computer, when I minimized Windows Media Player 11, it
would turn into a tool-bar at the bottom of the screen where I could access
basic controls (play/pause, rewind.. stop..).

However, when I minimize it now, it simply minimizes the program and does
not create the toolbar.

How do I get this feature back? I checked tools and couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
Nate

Hi I'm new here, I'm having this problem with Windows Media Player,
never had this problem before but today it has happened after
restarted, no matter what I do it won't go to the "toolbar" mode, I eve
have that setting turned on and it still won't do it, I even restarted
nothing happened, another thing I noticed is that I can't open the 64bi
version of Windows Media Player anymore and it would let me open i
before, now it only opens the 32bit version of it which I have alway
run on this computer since I don't see any appearance difference
between the two and the settings look the same to me so I don't bothe
too much with the 64bit version but I want the toolbar back for thi
media player, it's annoying that I can't get it back, is there
registry file that I'm missing that it just suddenly disappeared? I'
aware that I can't uninstall Windows Media Player 11 due to it being th
main preinstalled Media Player for Windows Vista. Is there anyway fo
me to fix this
