Vista Video Files Display

[aviwil]

I have Vista Home Premium . When I open a directory with Windows Media Viedo Files - I see a picture of the first scene , say , of this file , instead of the file name . I also have the GOM player , but when I open a directory which has files I assocated with it - it just gives me the GOM symbol with the file name . How do I get it to give me the picture /
Thanks .

The thumbnail display only shows preview images for pictures and videos that Windows itself knows how to play.

Thanks Fardringle . Hasn't anyone thought up some way to enable this for other programs ?

Thanks JonnyBlaze . This looks a little complicated from the site - is that indeed so ?
