Firebird Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 that was a top feature.However, I did have some difficulty deleting files as windows thinks they are in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raw_mustard Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 If you can get a folder of a Win2k machine, and copy it over to your Winxp machine it will retain the html formatting that Win2k used to display web folders. Make sure you copy it to your root directory and not your desktop, for some reason soon as you put it on your desktop XP converts it to its own format :( Anyway, here's a rar file with a win2k folder in it for anyone that wants to have a play... Win2k folder with sound preview Cheers raw_mustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoguy17 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Well, if you really want the media preview again just like Win2K i've got an excellant idea...Put Win2k pro back on your comp :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
