Stop Windows XP from Showing Video Preview

Windows XP by default allows you to view preview of Video in Windows Explorer. You can disable it if you don't want to experience the freeze some times when you open any folder that contains videos.

To disable it you need to execute the following command through command prompt.

To open Command Prompt in Windows XP, type “Cmd” in Start -> Run box. and then write the following line into command prompt then click enter.

regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

If you want to enable it back then execute following
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
Let me know if you face any problems.
