MP3 / Video preview

[Nick]

Hi..

Back when I used to use XP on a daily basis, I used to be able to right
click certain media files and select properties in order to preview the file.
I'm not referring to the information displayed in explorer such as bitrate,
resolution etc....but it used to be possible to actually playback the files
from the right click, properties as Windows Media Player was integrated into
explorer's right click for media files.

Is this still possible to do in XP with WMP11?

Thanks...

Nick

Just for clarification...I found the following image which highlights what I
used to see when right clicking and selecting properties of audio/video files:

*Bump*

Anyone able to offer a suggestion please?

It's racking my brain trying to work out if it's possible to do...have been
experimenting on a fresh install of XP on a virtual machine but still can't
reproduce it.

Not sure if it's a third party program which was able to integrate WMP into
explorer right click properties of audio/video files but apart from codec
packs, I can't think of any programs I have used in the past which would've
done it.

Would really appreciate some advice please
