When you view a folder as a Web page and click a multimedia file, a
preview of the file may not be displayed on the left side of the right
pane. This behavior occurs because the preview feature is set to disabled
by default.
To enable the multimedia preview feature:
- In Windows Explorer, click the Windows folder, and then double-click the Web folder.
- On the View menu, click Customize This Folder, click Next, and then click Next.
- On the Search menu, click Find, type wantmedia, click Find Next, and then click Cancel.
- Change the false entry in the following line to true:
var wantMedia = false; // cool, but may hinder media file
manipulation
var wantMedia = true; // cool, but may hinder media file
manipulation
- On the File menu, click Save.
- Quit Notepad, click Finish, and then quit Windows Explorer.
