I tried commenting out a few lines in the folder.htt file; it doesn't remove the 
preview but it sure speeds things up for mpg previews and everything else:

look for:
                 if (IsMovieFile(ext))
                        {
                              lines of code
                         }

comment out the lines in between the curly braces, i.e. put // in front of each line. 
I can't paste the full code in coz of security checks on this post.

don't forget to make a backup of folder.htt 1st
