Does anyone know how to disable the automatic image database building that Vista wants to do after every reboot when you access you image directories on dvds or cds. This 3-5 minute wait is killing me here. I just want the OS to show me the list of names. I can use a image program to view the pics, don't need Vista to make a db for me.

This is my major annoyance in Vista. I do stock photography work and this is slowing down my work something awful.

You can change the view to not display thumbnails. Other than that I've no idea.

Moved to correct forum, btw.

^^^ For pictures I guess that is true, I never deal with them so I guess thats why I use "Details".. :o

I usually use the command line for filesystem browsing. It's how I grew up, my first computer didn't have X installed!

ls -lR1a | less #that gives you a details mode, with directory expansion.
ps auxgww | less; kill pid #equivalent of ctrl-alt-del once under windows
cd; mv; cp # move stuff about
cat audiofile > /dev/dsp #play music
lynx Google #browse the web.
nano; cc; lint #programming tools

The command line isn't hard, it's just... different, okay people?

I didn't say it's hard.. I did use it when I was messing with a remote shell... It's just old fashioned...

xD I use security through obscurity. Because most of the devices in my house are networked to my home server (aptly named 'Nexus') you have to SSH through 2 gateways before you'll find it. For remote access, you have to send a 8-byte UDP packet to my router with the high bit set first xD
Mind you, it now controls everything from my AC to my sound system, so paranoia is okay :P
