media player video playback

[Dan]

In older versions of media player you were able to
preview videos in a folder(w/playback) by clicking on
them. Does anyone know how to do that with the new media
player under windows xp? The goal is to be able to look
at a folder containing videos, see a thumbnail view of
each one and by just clicking a video just once and be
able to see option to play preview in small status window
on the left. Currently the only thing that happens is a
preview of initial frame will show up, but no option to
play.
