Importing image into Image Control on a Form

I have a form for spare parts information and selection.
For the parts I have a library of jpg files held in a shared drive.
When the operator selects a part number in a list I have the image
appear in an Image control on the form - this is working very well and
is fast.

But there is a pesky "Importing [image path and filename]..." box
flashing momentarily on the screen each time.
Is there a way to suppress/hide this pop-up ?

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Use regedit to set the following key to "No":

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ Shared Tools\Graphics
Filters\Import\JPEG\Options

Then do the same for:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Shared Tools\Graphics
Filters\Import\JPEG\Options

Thanks Doug and Stuart,
The nuisance value of this at this stage is quite minuscule - the file
sizes being loaded are only 6 - 10kb.
It is that "flash" of the pop-up that annoying. But for the moment,
given the number of users involved, the registry edit is a big fix.
But I will hold this advice in case it is needed in the future.

Cheers,
Piri
