Pop-up settings

[Jasper]

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

It might have something to do with your default media
player. Did you change that?

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.

Keith,
Registering shell32 fixes both.

Keith,

Thanks for the info - I've checked and it exists now. Ramesh also
replied in another group with the shell info....

Thanks for you time
