I am trying to figure out how to display kHz (sample rate) in Vista as well.
I thought it may have been removed from the explorer folders because it was
put somewhere else - like in Windows Media Player, but I can't find it there
either. It's annoying that attribute information as useful and important as
kHz and Stereo have been replaced with trivial attributes such as star
ratings and genre. I wonder if this problem occurs in all Vista
manifestations. I am using Vista Home Basic. Hopefully there will be a patch
for it. I have to use audio software (Audacity) to determine the kHz of a
file now.
