mxm file preview "lost" on Vista64 and Win7

Good morning!
Since i updated 3dsmax with new plugin i noticed a strange behavior.

Windows does not show me preview icons of great % of mxm files.
If i browse folders in Window (vista64 and win7 both) i see the violet icon instead material preview: this is "bad" because i can't see materials when browsing from built-in material editor in 3ds max... and i'm forced to keep open Stand alone material editor browser.

It happens on all my pc, always the same file (about 90% of all my mxm archive)
Any hint?

Thank you
ciao
Luca

no worries. I went through the same problem and it still took me a lot of searching before I could refind the solution :)
