TweakUI has a section for that, but it only works on some keyboards.  You could try that.

How nice for you.

Now you just need to configure a button to DELETE Windows Media Player.

why bother? all I want is an media player that has all my codecs working, I remember asking last time I reformated for my options, and I think winamp was the only real competition (VLC was also mentioned, and I do use it for corupted files, but I don't like it, the seperate controles and viewer, the way the viewer doesn't close all the time when the rest of the program does, ect)

A "Media Player" is, IMO, a bad idea - or, at the very least, a hard-to-implement properly one. Think about it (I had to think about this very thing recently when designing a site for streaming audio as well as streaming video): when listening to audio, you generally want the program to be as unobtrusive and... backgroundy as possible. But when watching video, you generally aren't doing something else, so having features up front is more acceptable.

This is why I use Winamp for audio, and Media Player Classic for video.

But that's just me.

Sandwich hit the bullseye, exactly the reason why there is no "ultimate" media player to play both video and audio. Personally I use Windows Media Player classic for video and foobar2000 for audio. (Along with ffdshow and vsfilter of course.)

The later MPlayers, 9 & 10 in particular are an absolute nightmare to use, they are crashy and don't get on very well with Explorer on either of my computers. Mplayer classic though is still a very handy piece of kit.

Incidentally and entirely irrelevantly, has anyone else had a problem playing videos with newer nVidia drivers?  I can't get the colours to show properly (it's shown in cga/vga by the looks of it) unless I turn down the hardware acceleration from maximum.

It's shown in CGA? What the hell? That's like saying a DVD is "playing in VHS".

The media players that came with Windows, or that were produced by Microsoft, are the Windows Media Player v6.4 (mplayer2.exe) or Windows Media Player versions 7-10 (wmplayer.exe). Version 6.4 was the version that inspired the open-source (I think... it's third-party, at least) Media Player Classic (mplayerc.exe), which surpasses ANY Windows Media Player in video playback by far.

In short, there was never any such thing as "Windows Media Player Classic". :p

Ummm, WMP 6.4 didn't just come out of thin air. There were obviously versions 1-5 of WMP too. The last pre-6.4 version should still be included with Windows, as "mplayer.exe".

Those versions weren't really worthy to be called media players, but strictly speaking, you're right. I was just limiting my list to programs that are still bundled with Windows XP (mplayer.exe isn't, AFAIK).

Hrm. Let me see what I can make of this. A bit OT, though

But when acting as a firewall, promiscuous data trasfer is less acceptable.

This is why I use OpenBSD for firewalls, and SuSE Linux for webservers.

But that's just me.

What is the mplayer32.exe thing in XP? That reminds me of the old Win95 media player, although I'm not sure if it's actually the same thing.

mplayer2.exe is WMP 6.4.
mplayer.exe is WMP >7.
mplayerc.exe is a third-party utility that resembles WMP 6.4 cosmetically, but beats it in many feature areas. (Link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358 )
