The problem was not about the preview pane.The thumbnails of .m4a music files do not display at all in windows explorer but they do have album artwork embedded but they only appear when playing in a music player.


I fixed the problem as it was mainly due to corrupted registry for some strange reason.i imported the .mp3 dile extension key from registry and opened it using notepad and replaced all .mp3 extension with .m4a and saved it as .m4a.reg and run it and had to do a system restart after that thumbnails again started showing up in windows explorer as normal.such as in the below screenshot




Before when corrupted they used to appear this way as i installed vlc the problem started out
