I often work with folders containing many jpeg images. XP Pro seems to stop "everything" and prefetch(?) every jpeg in the folder, which may be hundreds, effectively halting my workflow until all are recognized. Is there anyway to turn that default setting off. I would often just want to open a folder and go to a random jpeg without having instant access to all of them. I run my folders in Detail mode and don't usually use the Thumbnail mode.Thanks in advance. Email removed for privacy
