Yes, I'll tell him. But I don't know if he thinks of the lower-CPU performance...

But there is an easy way to turn that "feature" off:
regsvr32.exe /u shmedia.dll

Thanks for your advise. I don't like the video thumbnails showing function of Explorer, and always cut it when I use nLite to re-install WinXP. But sometimes it appears and annoys me. I'll try your approach.

By the way, LoRd_MuldeR, I'd like to express my gratitude to MPlayer for Windows which I use to estimate the decoding speed of MP4 with various x264 options used. Thanks!

Oh, yeah, that should be the reason. I'll tell it to him to think about the extention sets of CPUs.

Great! When the time is right, please. I'll announce here whenever the next version is released. Come back again!
