When opening files in photoshop and other programes a small thumbnail appears in the lower section of the dialogue box. This can take a long time before I can open files especially some of my graphics files are up to 1gb as we have a wide format printing business. How can I turn this function off in windows xp. This is driving us nuts hope some one can help.

Sounds like you are using a network and getting the file from the server or some 
other PC on the network.
A 1gb. file can take a bit of time to move from PC to PC try saving the file to your 
machine so it can open quicker.

Have the Admin./IT make a new folder and save them in it.
He can do it from his desktop in XP. (remote hook up) 

Good Luck

Reply to DEX Thanks for info however I would prefer to turn off the thumbnail preview prior to opening these large files as the thumbnail actually takes a long time to show in the dialogue box before I set to open. The files are stored locally.

Peter, Changing the folder display options will get rid of the thumbnail. control panel folder options:Classic with detail view gets rid of the thumbs.
