OP
I found them, they are hidden, u have to go view - explorer bar - media or windows media, then youll get a little player at the bottom right which u can play previews of file through.

Rephrase: A question from me then....
 
Lets say we are in windows classic display mode. Then I explore to my MP3 directory folder.
 
I want to see the small MediaPlayer version that would appear in the right hand window under the folder discription in W2K just to the left of the display of MP3 names listed. Same with bmp's.
 
How can I get that?
 
 
 
Edit...I should stay off those
