Is it possible to enable the "Deskband" in Windows Media Player 12 (on Windows 7)?

While I recognize it wasn't everyone's "cup of tea", I found it very useful, and have grown to rely on it when listening to music.

It appears to be gone in favor of the new functionality the taskbar thumbnails provide. You can now skip tracks and pause music directly from a toolbar underneath the WMP thumbnail.

I too missed the deskband when switching to Windows 7, but I've now switched to the Zune software, which does have this feature:

Thanks! This looks like it will be a fantastic substitute for WMP in Win7. – Brad Leach Nov 15 '09 at 22:49
