    I'm not sure this will help, but you could try toggling default apps for your "Music player" or ".mp3" files.

    I've noticed a lot of the properties in the PreviewDetails registry values are prefaced by asterisks. Does anybody know what the asterisk before the property does and how it is different than a non-asterisked property?

    The added prop field gets added to the previewdetails pane as expected, however the edidable field added gives a file access permission denied error when I try to save the edited field (ie: Tags)
    Could there be some additional registry change to perform in order to fix this ? (ie: the "EditFlag" Reg_Binary registry entries might require some modification as well ? (or maybe the whole key's permission?)

    Hello Hept0p,

    To rule out a permission issue with the file itself, are you able to manually edit these details from its properties page?

    Hello DjamKO94, amd welcome to Ten Forums.

    Just to verify, did you set this for the WMP11.AssocFile.MKV key referenced by the .mkv key?

    Well, let's go ahead and see some screenshots showing your registry changes and what you see in the Details pane to see if anything may stand out.

    If the .mkv files do not have the property details included in them, they will not display in the Details pane though.

    Just experimented with this as it was referenced by a post in the MS Forums that linked to this tutorial. In Windows 10 (currently 2004 Build:19041.450 ), the default PreviewDetails value for a given extension is found under:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\<Extension>

    And it was editing this value that added Comments to the Details pane info for .mp3 files:

    Customize Preview Details in Details Pane of File Explorer in Windows-screenshot-585-.png

    I wrote this PowerShell to list all the types that have a PreveiewDetails value:

    Code:
    New-PSDrive -Name HKCR -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | out-null
gci hkcr:\ -recurse -Depth 3  | ? Property -contains PreviewDetails |
    select @{ N = 'Path' ; E = {$_.Name -replace 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT', 'HKCR'}} |
        ft -AutoSize
    The above runs for several minutes but is not hung. It will eventually spit out:

    Code:
    Path

    This version will return the associated PreviewDetails string for each key & output to a GrideView for interactive searching:
    Code:
    New-PSDrive -Name HKCR -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | out-null
gci hkcr:\ -recurse -Depth 3  | ? Property -contains PreviewDetails |
select @{ N = 'Path' ; E = {$_.Name -replace 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT', 'HKCR'}},
       @{ N = 'PreviewDetails' ; E = { $_.GetValue('PreviewDetails') }}  | out-GridView
