ToolTip displays Author instead of Artist on mp3 files

[Guest]

I recently had to format my computer and now that I've got Windows XP
installed again, I'm running into a few glitches.

The one I'm working on now is the mp3 files. Before formatting my computer,
when I hovered over an mp3 file, the ToolTip box displayed relevant info like
Artist Name, Album Name, Track #, Track Length, and bitrate quality.

Now, when I hover over an mp3 file, it displays Author instead of Artist, it
now displays Title and Date Modified, and no longer displays Album Name,
Track #, Track Length, and bitrate quality.

My mp3s are currently known as 'winamp media files'. Is there a simple way
to alter what particular info the ToolTip box displays for each type of file?

Please help. Thanks.
