Visual studio 2008 cute dialog on the Ctrl + Tab

Hi,

One of the cool new stuff in Visual Studio 2008 is the way it works with the Ctrl + Tab. In Visual Studio (VS) 2005 this feature was brought up and has been nicely enhanced in Visual Studio (VS) 2008.

In VS 2005 when we press Ctrl + Tab the studio would just not cycle through the opened tabs but open a dialogue to show those tabs. This way we were easily able to see the next tab which would be opened.

This feature has been well built on in VS 2008. In Vs 2008 ctrl + Tab not openly open the dialog but also show the image preview of the window. Here is an example of the window that shows up.

The feature might be small and simple but is pretty useful. It least I have liked this beautiful work from VS 2008 team. Way to go… Here is an image of the dialog.

I used this dialog a lot in VS2005. The preview of the file in VS2008 slows down the selection, is there a way to disable it?
