Remove image and/or media preview in Explorer

TweakXP.com - Remove image and/or media preview in Explorer:

XP's Explorer annoys the crap out of me, because it seems to pause when dealing with image and/or video files. Apparently this works:

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
