When I put my mouse/cursor over an MP3 file, a few seconds later the music/file starts playing. Is there any way to disable this?

Thank you! I have many MP3 files on my desktop and sometimes it starts playing the songs and is very annoying! I always forget this preferences menu, I always look at the System menu. – DrKenobi Dec 18 '10 at 16:14
