Enjoy this little package of goodies from microsoft. Neat tools and toys. I really like the fact you can place the media player in the system tray now.

Microsoft releases these media packs filled with fun stuff every now and then.

This includes new movie maker media and add-ins, media library management wizard, skin importer, playlist to excel exporter (old?), and a new tray control.

The new tray control puts the media players controls and hides them in the system tray. To me this is much better than taking up a bunch of room on the taskbar. It also includes an easy way to clear the Most Recently Used (MRU) files list.

Try it out... it's free and fun.
