To correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the
following registry key.
Goto Start>>Run>>Type "regedit" goto
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D9 4-71B3-
4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32]
This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in
response to file property queries on these files.
