But as you start adding links to other programs to the taskbar, you may find that the links are extending too far on the taskbar, or that you are accidentally clicking icons that you didn’t mean to open. The default Windows 7 installation comes with a couple of icons in the taskbar by default, including Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player. The taskbar at the bottom of your screen in Windows 7 is a great place to put links to programs, because it is always visible. I suspect that because server has now this Desktop Experience installed it does install media player also? Pin Windows Media Player To Taskbar I just hate media player so how come i remove it so it wont come back. Why is that when i remove windows media player from taskbar and logoff and then come back to desktop, media player icon has re-appeared to taskbar.
