1) This tip will disable the preview for video files, but still keeps the preview for

images (which i find quite useful).

 

open regedit and find this key:

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}

 

Rename the key

"{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"

to

"-{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"

(i.e. put a dash in front of the existing name).

 

That's it, if it doesn't work then try restarting, for me the changes were immediate.

 

NOTE:

I use XP so I'm not sure if this works on a win2K machine. If it doesn't, or if the

key doesn't exist then you'll need to open

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi\ShellEx

 

and open the key inside (mine was called "{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}"

but it may be different in win2K). Open the "(default)" string value. The value inside

is the one you will need to rename in the

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\

 

path.

 

2) There's a reg hack to remove the .avi preview so it least stops it crashing explorer (but not during playback).

Run regedit and find the following key :

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler

 

Delete the "Default" value then close. This nukes all the .avi previews, but that's usually a good thing.

 

I'm bored of deleting and checking hotfixs now, so I guess i'll use ffdshow.
