Windows Media Player - Skip Track Shortcut?

[Akumos]

Hi

My keyboard only has play and stop hotkeys, using Windows Media Player is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut to skip track, even if media player isn't the primary window?

Thanks

maybe instead of bumping a thread 2 hours after posting it, which is against the rules, you would have spent your time more wisely and tried your inquiry in goggle. http://shortcut-keys.net/windows-media-player-11-complete-shortcut-keys/

Why not just mouse over it in the taskbar and use those buttons?

WMP needn't be an active window for you to be able to do that.

The shortcut key is Ctrl-F, so if you bind that to a key or mouse, still wmp will need to be the active window for it to work.

Sorry!

Still needs to be the active window for this to work. I listen to music through media player whilst playing games in full screen.

I think the easiest solution is to get a cheap media keyboard. Pretty much any combination of keys could conflict with the game you are playing.
