WMP. turn off the screen, not buttons. how?

While playing music in windows media player, i assigned a button to "Toggle Screen" function which effectively turns off the screen but keeps buttons alive so i can skip/seek/pause/etc... but the problems is that after about 1 minute, hardware buttons get disabled as well (but music keeps playing), which is quite frustrating when you expect buttons to work but they dont anymore.

i'm assuming its because in my power settings i set it to "Turn off device if not used for 1 minute".... But the confusing part is that i've used to have same settings on my PPC-6800/Titan/Mogul and the hardware buttons stayed on forever after i turned off the screen using WMP's "Toggle Screen" function.

is there an excpetion list somewhere that would turn my device off in 1 minute if not used UNLESS there is "WMP/wmplayer.exe" process running? or maybe there is an different solution that would produce the desired result?

PS: i'm running Sprint's stock rom.


Thanks!
