Hi is there a way to add a file extension or otherwise modify what Vista defines as a video? I have already seen the article about modifying what vista indexes but looking for something more.

At the moment if you search by 'Kind: video', it only brings up mov's and avi's and perhaps a few others. What I want to do is create a search to pick up all my divx and flv files as well.

I presume there is a registry key for the video "type"/"kind" that can be amended but wouldn't know where to start looking.

Any ideas?
thanks,
Josh
