I have seen on my friends computer that WMP seems to be docked on teh bottom right near the taskbar programs. So its basically beside the running programs (ie. Msn, IE, winamp etc.) but its docked…not just on teh bar  
Any ideas how to do that?  
Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out myself. But if someone was also wondering the same thing. Right click on taskbar, scroll to toolbar, and check of WMP

I think this is only in XP, not 2000, btw.
