Try switching the classic view and see if that fixes the issue. There are some registry tweaks to try if that fails.
so if someone know how 2 disable the mplayer preview
even if its some regedit
ill be more then happy 2 recive that info
Try this:
Also try the following steps:1. Open windows explorer and goto the folder "Web" in your main windows folder ,"WINNT".
The full path is "\WINNT\Web\".
2. In there you will see a file called "folder.htt", open it in a text editor such
as notepad.
3. look for the lines:
[span id=MediaPlayerSpan]
[/span]
and replace them with:
<!--
[span id=MediaPlayerSpan]
[/span]
-->
Now all Windows media player previews are disabled.
And lastly you can try the following, but it is designed for XP users.. but may work for win2k users.Simply do the following steps:
1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter)
2) To remove image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
3) To readd image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
4) To remove media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
5) To readd media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
