Has anyone ever found this an annoyance when using Windows Media Player 9 and above:
I like to listen to music, by sometimes opening a folder and just choosing songs one after another. like when one finishes i open another i want to listen too. i know i can create playlists but i dont really ever use em.

But when you click on a song file to open, and windows media player is minimized in the task bar, it redisplays windows media player everytime. is there a patch or a way to open songs without media player displaying, and just stay minimized?

nah thats not it, i just want windows media player to stop popping up everytime i click on a new song to play. i want it to stay minimized in the task bar (start bar)

That's what jordanspringer means:

no, my WMP is already minimized into my task bar like that screenshot above, i'm using the WMP toolbar. but everytime i click on a new file to play a song, windows media player pops up and i always have to minimize it. it gets annoying when ur just clicking around listening to songs, always having to re-minimize media player
