Windows Media Player taskbar

Anyone know if it's possible to write toolbars for the taskbar like the WMP
one (right-click taskbar -> toolbars -> media player)... It's very cool, and
I'd like to do something similar for my app :-)

Thanks :)

You need to look in the Platform SDK for "Creating Custom Explorer Bars,
Tool Bands, and Desk Bands"

That explains how they work and how to create them.
