thumbnail images of 1st second of video

[Lordmajax]

I have alot of videos in 'My Videos" folder. I organized them as thumbnails
and for some reason was able to have a still image of the first second of
video appear as the thumbnail. I had to reinstall media player and I was
wondering if anyone knew how to set the preview of videos to show the still
image.

files
