Slices "ON" when open document

[George]

Is there a way to turn OFF the EXTRA/SHOW/SLICES every time I open an image. I can turn it off manually but not automatically so it won't be ON when I open an image.

Thanks!
PS: I use PS 7

select menu item view> show and uncheck slices.

Thanks, but...is there a way to do it 1 time? The way you tell me, every time I open a pic I have to do those steps. I want to open images without the slice feature showing.

Thanks again

Drove me nuts, too.
Go into Edit/Preferences/Guides Grid & Slices and uncheck the "Show Slice Numbers" options. It will stop showing a slice on all images you open in Photoshop.
