Prevent Windows Explorer from getting bitrate from WAV files...?

[spinjector]

Does anyone know how to prevent Windows Explorer from getting the bitrate from WAV and MP3 files?

This is kind of like the feature in nLite to make Windows stop getting info from AVI files, or displaying the icon for an EXE.

I have a media server with ~1/4-million media files on it, mostly of type WAV & MP3. Just tonight I figured out this was why it takes many minutes to open some folders - Windows is checking out the goods so it can display something in the status bar.

I searched Google for shellext info, but I got too much search results to be useful. I'm not even sure it's a shell extension.

Thanks.
