know what the exact values.  Mine are all Found, Not Found, or Pending.  =
My guess is that the ones that changed are identified as Found.  Again, =
the settings to which I referred you earlier should control this.  =
Opening the files still has nothing to do with it nor should it.

  A followup:  Each time I've opened WMP9 to stream audio, it's reached =
