From the "Do you
hear what I hear" department: Lockergnomie Trubnikoff Valery has discovered
a way for IE4/5 users to preview WAV, MID, RMI, MOV, AVI, and MPG media files
within the windows Explorer. "Open up the 'Web' folder in your Windows directory,
then open the 'folder.htt' file in Notepad. Replace the string 'wantMedia=false'
with 'wantMedia=true' -- next time you select a "media" file in Explorer, you'll
see 'play' and 'stop' buttons in the leftmost panel."
