Enable preview .mp4 files on Windows Vista/7

On Windows Vista and Windows 7 by default are not enabled previews of many files, including the files .mp4.

To enable previews of the files we have to edit the registry as follows:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4]
@="VLC.mp4"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4\ShellEx]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{F6E3DA91-1220-4fb3-85EC-CF494D9FF7DD}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}\Previous]
@="{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"

and in this case to enable the preview of mp4 files you can just download the file attached to this article and import it into your registry.
