Slow performance in opening My Pictures folders

[Guest]

Some of my image folders contain on average 400 Jpegs. When opening the
folder it takes quite a time for images & details to show. Can there be a
default to either view in List/detail form as opposed to viewing thumbnails,
as thumbnails take ages to open on page, scrolling down also takes a while?

When viewing in detail, it also takes some time for the small photoshop icon
to register on each file. Can this performance be improved?

==========================================
Try the following:

Right click on a .jpg file and choose Properties.
Click the Photoshop Image tab and uncheck the
"Generate Thumbnails" button, then click OK.

Also, if you want "details" to be your default View...
open a folder and go to...View / Details...then go
to...Tools / Folder Options / View tab / Apply to all
folders button / Yes / OK.
