Hi,
I faced the same problem, and kinda solved with help of rakeshb03, and a little bit of reg editor:
1 - Creat a .txt file, copying these lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.XXX\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.XXX\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@=”{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.XXX\ShellEx\{e357fccd-a995-4576-b01f-234630154e96}]
@=”{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}”
2 - Exchange the .XXX for the format that Windows 7 don´t preview anymore (*.avi, *asf, *.mov, *.mpg, etc)
3 - In the specific case of *.mpeg, I also add the following line:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpeg\PersistentHandler]
@=”{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}”
4 - Save the *.txt file with *.reg extention, and then run it!
5 - You may also have to open one *.avi file, with the option “always use wmp “;
This worked fine for me, no reboot, and I decided to post about it cause took to much google time to fix it
