Nice!

It would be nice when you can display some information about the displayed media below the displayed image. E.g. here:

Looks really nice .

Could you explain the possible errors this line fixes?

;Fix for keyboard layout issue for HotKeySet and other hotkeys functions
__WinAPI_LoadKeyboardLayout(0x0409)

Also in __Explorer_GetSelectedItem() I see you use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText(). Keep in mind that AutoIt and Explorer bit-mode have to be in line for this to work (AU 32bit can only read 32bit LVs). Maybe it would be better to go the COM way like in this example?

Good idea, maybe will add later.

It stated in the comments

If you set your keyboard layout to some language that doesn't includes latin letters before script starts, your accelerators and hotkeys such as ^c will not work.

Therefore you should fix this issue by changing the keyboard layout to English before you set the accelerators/hotkeys.

AU 32bit can only read 32bit LVs

I have x64 windows on virtual machine, and the LVs are 32bit there, so my question is how it can be that LVs will be not 32bit?
