I have media buttons on the front of my laptop, to play, sound up/down... I 
think it is windows Media center version, I think.. I never used much of the 
media center options, esPECIALLY Windows Media Player, I HATE it when it took 
over the entire screen!
but it is all better now, now I have XP & Fedora nicely dual-booting :) 
installed mplayer, banshee, got evolution email all setup..
