Windows explorer side bar ?? [Win 2000]

[Amebaid]

i'm wondering if there is any way to stop win 2000 from auto previewing my video files and audio files in the side bar .. here ?








some times this previews take time and even hangs and make the system crashes ..

so is there is any way to stop it .. ?

i know i can turn that side bar totally from the web view option in the file options window .. but i kinda need it sometimes ..

can you help please ? thanks

dont know whether this will work but your welcome to try.

internet explorer
tools
internet options
advanced
multimedia
then untick play sounds and videos

i think that is only with the web pages with sound enabled and video files ..
basically any modification in the internet options only take effects in the IE ..
not connected with windows explorer

have you tried changing the settings on your audio and video files themselves?

unforetunately i dont know 2000 that well

well .. it's not matter of one or 2 video and audio files ,, it 's system global feature ..

i'm just hoping that i can turn it OFF
