Pop-up settings

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Hi,
Can anyone help me please ? When I hover my mouse over an mp3 file, it
used to show the Author, Album title, File Size and Bitrate. Now it
shows Comments instead of bit rate !! How can I change my settings so
that the bit rate is shown in the pop up window ? I cant remember
consciously changing any settings !!

TIA

Jasper

Check the following in your registry:

Under the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3

look in the right-hand pane for a REG_SZ value named "PerceivedType" with the data being "audio". If it does not exist, create it.

Then look under the key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\audio

look in the right-hand pane for a REG_SZ value named "InfoTip". it should have the following for its data:

prop:Artist;Album;Year;Track;Duration;Type;Bitrate;Size

If it doesn't exist, create it.
