[QUOTE="doveman, post: 671209, member: 67412"] Thanks for the ideas. I didn't know about the Ctrl+ESC shortcut, so I'll give that a try. I was trying to use the Windows key to bring up the taskbar/start menu, but that wasn't working and just resulted in the display still showing MP but with the taskbar briefly flickering into view every couple of seconds (but inaccessible). The same thing happened if I tried to bring up the taskmanager with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. The problem with temporarily shutting down MP is then I'm unable to hear whether the changes I'm making in ffdshow audio are achieving what I want (and with ffdshow video I'd be unable to see whether I like the effect any changes I make have), so that's not really a solution I'm afraid. I do use RDP to connect to my HTPC over my LAN and I've got the concurrent user hack enabled on it, but that doesn't seem to help with this particular problem as logging on as a different user shows a completely different systray from the HTPC user, so I'm unable to adjust the ffdshow settings for that user.
