Note that you can register or unregister shimgvw.dll to enable or
disable WPFV:
- Disable: Start > Run > regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

- Enable:  Start > Run > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

You can also use these registry files:

https://www.securinfos.info/english/WPFV_enable.reg

Note: If you unregister shimgvw.dll, Windows Explorer will not display
thumbnails anymore. So the registry tweak is a much better way to
disable WPFV. If PhotoEd is installed, it will open picture files after
WPFV is disabled.
