Disable Video Thumbnail in Vista

* click on link, the GUI for the Scribble Web has eaten some text *

I suspect that the thumbnail generator is causing too much load, especially on funky video files from my camera... 

"Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ delete  on my system  is "Video Thumbnail Extractor", with InProcServer32 pointing to "%SystemRoot%\System32\mediametadatahandler.dll", I suggest you check it's the same before deleting it & make a backup first."

"On my next reload of vista, I was still getting thumbs on .avi extensions after the above hack... Further investigation lead me to also delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ "Property Thumbnail Handler"
