Hello, dear all.
I do not like to use such pack codecs, because many people told that they can mess up my system. :C
But, I'm want to preview flv files on my Windows Explorer (my OS is Windows 7 / 32 bits) and one of the methods that can maybe solve this is using K-Lite Codec Pack sofware ( or similars).
It's possible to install only specifical elements? For example: only flv or 3GP extensions enabled?
Thanks.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Try using FLV Splitter. I'm not sure if it supports the preview function in Explorer.
-
How about just downloading and installing the FLV codec, since this is the ONLY thing you wish to achieve, why would not this be the obvious choice?
-
He will still need an FLV reader/splitter. Otherwise Windows won't even know an FLV file is an A/V file.

why not just install ffdshow. Choose Windows Media Player for preview et voila !

Yes, you can choose exactly which codecs are installed, and how each is configured.
Just choose the custom or expert or whatever the option is called rather than the default and you can make your choice.
K-Lite includes "Codec Tweak Tool" and a set of "Codec Config icons" (for each individual codec) to change your options after the initial install.
But the default is pretty conservative, try that first and change settings as above later if necessary is simplest. -

I have tried the program above, without success, in my case:

@ AlanHK: Thanks for your help! I will try what you advice me. But, I'm afraid in using some codec packs, because they are famous for messing up about PC codecs health. If I can't do it using any other methods, I'll try this alternative.
If someone have some more tips about the subject, will be nice to hear!
Thanks for all of you.
Best regards. -
This seems to be a bad choice of words.
You said 'preview'. I always take that to assume playback while remaining in an envoirment such as Windows Explorer.
What you want is a thumbnail viewer. Codec packs do not provide for that as codecs exist (as the name suggests) for compression and decompression.
Windows typically only provides 'preview' thumbnails for certain media types (.avi, wmv, mpg) -
