How do you stop the Windows Media preview when you click on an MPEG

When ever I am working with MP3's or MPEGs, and I click on just a single file Windows 2000 likes to load it into memory for the media player sitting on the left pane. While that may be good if I don't want to load the movie manually myself, it is annoying as you can't resize it anyways... Another big annoynce is when you want to MOVE the file, and if it is still in the media player's memory it won't allow you to move it as it is still "in use". does anyone know how to disable this "FEATURE"?!? Thanks -Francisco
