It seems photoshop 7 is causing me alot of heartache for open folder with 100+ pics. Takes forever for it to associate the icon with each file, even though I have associated jpeg with windows picture and fax viewer.

Here is a solution I have found
"PROBLEM SOLVED:

Take any (Photoshop-associated) JPG icon in explorer, right-click on it, select "Properties" from the context menu, then select the middle tab named "Photoshop Image", uncheck "Generate Thumbnails" there – that’s it.

However this solution is for one picture. I have thousands of pictures,

how can I unclick this property for all of them at one time. Furthermore…How do I prevent this from happening when I add more pictures from my digital camera?

Can this be permanently disabled?

Jade – you don’t say what operating system you have!!
I have Windows XP and on that when I right click on an image file in a folder and select properties, I only have two tabs!! ‘General and Summary’ I select General and almost at the top is a box for associating the file type! Once Windows Picture and fax viewer is associated with a file type, all similar file types should be associated in the same way?? Or are you referring to viewing thumbnails, which is a different matter!!

Jade I still don’t understand fully what you are doing, parts of your message seem at odds!!
"Takes forever for it to associate the icon with each file, even though I have associated jpeg with windows picture and fax viewer."

You then say

" Take any (Photoshop-associated) JPG icon in explorer,"

If you have associated jpegs with the windows picture and fax viewer there should be NO (Photoshop-associated) JPG in explorer??

And I still can’t find this centre tab you refer to in properties! Can you confirm you have associated jpgs correctly with windows picture and fax viewer as I mentioned in my previous post?
