Switch the view to Large Icons or Small Icons if it’s in the Category viewģ. You won’t be able to use the program but you can “turn it on” later if you need to use it.Ģ. This method renders WMP inaccessible through “uninstallation” but not in the traditional sense. Option 2: Turning off Windows Media Player This will only “disable access” to WMP from windows explorer but you will still be able to use the program by launching it from elsewhere like Start Menu. However, below it you’ll notice beside Windows Media Player there’s the option Enable access to this program. If you’re already using a different media player, then Use my current media player is selected by default. Scroll down and go to Choose default media player. If not so, do select it and then enlarge the settings using the drop arrow on the far rightĦ. If you’re using a different media player chances are the Custom option is already selected. That will open a small window with one of three radio buttons selected: Microsoft Windows, Non-Microsoft and Custom. In the default programs window, click open the last option – Set Program access and computer defaultsĥ.
Scroll down and click open Default ProgramsĤ. You can find it easily by searching for it in the start menuĢ.Switch the view to Large Icons or Small Icons if it’s in the Category viewģ. Grrrrrr Frustrating.This method simply makes WMP NOT the default media player and as a result removes the entries.ġ. Only a lot of different ideas of what to try to fix it with that don’t really fix it. I see this has been a problem that has been cropping up for several years for other floks as well but with no actual “This Works Type Solutions”. It shows them for other video file types though. For no apparent reason I can think of my laptop quit displaying preview images for those video file types. Now WMP still plays them but there is no preview image only a Blue Music Note and a Piece of Film where the preview image should be. And they would play perfectly if I clicked on the image.
I used to transfer my mp4 files from my LG 5 phone with no problem to my Dell XPS L502X and be able to see a preview image in Windows Explorer. I even ran Tweaking Windows in safe mode. Ran a lot of command line programs to check out the operating system and discs.
Will this fix missing mp3 and mp4 video preview thumbnail images in Windows 7 Ultimate? I have tried a lot of different fixes thinking the problem was in Windows Media Player that were suggestions from different forums.
