Windows Media Player - equivalent to car rewind/fast forward?

In Windows Media Player (not center, specifically Win 7), is there a hot key or something that will let me skip forward or backward a few seconds or few minutes? For this reason alone, I often use WinAmp or VLC.

To rewind: Ctrl + Shift + b

To fast-forward: Ctrl + Shift + f

press the combination once to begin, and again to stop.

1my remote uses those shortcuts in its preconfiguration for Windows Media Player. i don't use WMP so I haven't actually tested them. – quack quixote – 2010-01-19T08:35:42.233

Thanks, I guess that's the best they provide. Not as impressive as CNTL-Right-Arrow in VLC. – NealWalters – 2010-01-20T03:53:54.193

here all all the shortcuts: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/keyboard_shortcuts/player11_winxp.mspx. But it's disappointing what some of them really do.

WMP Keys is a Windows Media Player plugin that adds global hotkey support.
