Stop windows media player autoplay! - 08/24/01 02:48 AM

With W2k SP2 and Windows media player 7.1, there is an irritating feature I want to disable.

Whenever I highlight a media (mp3, mpeg, etc) file, WMP automatically plays it in the preview window. This is incredibly annoying! I don't have Single Click enabled. Is there any way to turn this off, or disable WMP in the preview pane? I want to keep web view on for previewing pictures.

I have the same problem w/ all 3 machines at work.

Blargh! Then how will I know which **** pic I'm opening??? wink

Preview is fine for pics, but I don't want Media Player in there.
