I just upgraded from 2000 to xp and I like the preview on the left side of the explorer but now its gone. How can I get it back to preview movies and mp3's. I tried View->Explorer Bar->Media, is this the only way? I was hoping there would be a way for the preview to show up in the Details pane where the still image of the movie is shown. I know this is probably the wrong forum but this is the exact opposite problem that I have. mk
