Summary0008584: MicroPlayer: fails to respond / triggers freezes when run on startup (regression)
DescriptionIf the MicroPlayer is run at startup (i.e. MM was previously closed with the MicroPlayer running), then:

1) MultiMedia Keys fail to function until the user has interacted with the MicroPlayer (e.g. pressed 'Play' or clicked 'Restore')

2) The MicroPlayer will often initiate in a corrupted fashion (i.e. the right portion of the UI will be cut off), and it will be non-responsive, and in some cases, will result in the Taskbar process terminating. The only way to exit when this occurs is to terminate MM via the Task Manager.
Steps To Reproduce1 Start MM
2 Minimize to MicroPlayer
3 Press Play and then Pause (Optional, but seems to help trigger issue 2)
4 Right click on the MicroPlayer > Exit
5 Start MM
--> Bugs 1) and 2)

Further testing reveals that the two bugs are different. The first applies to all installs (i.e. Multimedia keys don't initially work when MM is started in MicroPlayer for regular and Portable installs). The second applies only to portable installs (i.e. the MicroPlayer / Taskbar becomes unstable with a portable install).

I'll leave this bug open to track issue 2, and open a new one for issue 1.

We should either:
1) decide to allow this system change for portable installs (like the other OS integration features)
2) disable this for portable installs
