It didn´t work for me either, but i´ve found a "bad" solution. You have to edit the file folder.htt of EVERY folder (that´s why its bad) and delete the following part: if (wantMedia && size) { // show media preview or thumbnail based on file extension ext = name.substring(name.lastIndexOf(".") + 1, name.length); ext = ext.toLowerCase(); if (ext == 'avi' || ext == 'mov' || ext == 'qt' || ext == 'mpe' || ext == 'mpeg' || ext == 'mpg') { // show a movie player document.all.Media.innerHTML = 'object ID="Player" style="width: 160px; height: 148px" classid=clsid:05589FA1-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A param name="FileName" value="' + items.Path + '" param name=ShowDisplay value=0 param name=BorderStyle value=0 /object>'; } else if (ext == 'aif' || ext == 'aifc' || ext == 'aiff' || ext == 'au' || ext == 'mid' || ext == 'rmi' || ext == 'snd' || ext == 'wav') { // show a sound player document.all.Media.innerHTML = 'object ID="Player" style="width: 160px; height: 28px" classid=clsid:05589FA1-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595Aparam name="FileName" value="' + items.Path + '"param name=ShowDisplay value=0/center/object' } } I cant find the "original" folder.htt (it didn´t worked with c:\winnt\web ) so i dont know how to change ths globally. hope it helps note: i had to remove all the < >
