SYMPTOMS
In Internet Explorer 6, if you browse the Internet and playback media files in the Media bar, the media files that you played are not added to the History folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, set Microsoft Windows Media Player as the default handler of Web-based media. Then, whenever you play media files, they are cached in the History folder.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To add media content to the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer, click the title of the content in the Media bar, and then click Add to Favorites.
