No - the reason why the posted instructions don't work for Michael are because you can't use that technique with multiple files selected; you can only change those properties for a single file at a time. It's easy enough to check, if you have access to a Windows XP system. And if you don't have access to one, posting guesses as to just why any particular version of Windows behaves in the way it does is an exercise in futility.
