winamp3 and desktopx

For those of you interested in controlling winamp3 basic functions from the desktop, this is a solution that worked for me. Haven't used it very long but no issues so far. Hope it works for you. I'm running WinXP Home, DesktopX v1.3 (build 305), and Winamp3 (build 488) on a Dell Inspiron laptop.

1. Download and install the RM-X v0.8.4 component for Winamp3.
2. Restart Winamp3.
3. Browse to C:\Program Files\Winamp3\Wacs\RMX\EXE (or wherever you installed to) and right-click drag the controls you want onto your desktop. Or make your own objects - there's an EXE for each function so hardly any configuration necessary.
4. Done! Except for thanking Darkain Dragoon for the cool RM-X!

as those are just shortcuts to executables everything will do, even shortcuts on the desktop or the quicklaunch bar.
