Disable extras on startup

[Kc1106]

I'm using PS CS3. I don't remember changing any settings, but all of a sudden when I open any Photoshop file, the "extras" (gridlines) are showing. I can hit the keyboard shortcut to turn it off, but I have to do that each time I open a file...which is pretty annoying. I looked through my preferences and can't seem to find anything that would cause this to happen. Any ideas on how I can make the extras stop showing on startup?

This is the solution that worked for me too. I tried unchecking every individual box in the extras settings. Seemed logical given that Command H (Extras) is what seems to turn it on and off for the individual images. But when I chose View > Show > None the lines went away and were still gone when I opened a new image. Yay!

One more thing it could be: select the Move tool, at the top tool options uncheck "Show Transform Controls".

It could be that it is not the extras but it is 'automatic select'. Click on the select tool and above it on the bar uncheck 'auto select' box and to the right of that 'show transform control' box. Be well!!

Thank you! This was driving me nuts.

Try turning off Canvas Guides (worked with me)

View > Show > Canvas Guides

Here's an updated reply for this old thread  (Photoshop CC 2022) that confirms the correct answer and includes a screenshot that makes it more clear--at least to me.

In the View menu, there's a block that contains two items: Extras and Show.

Click on Show, then click off Grid. 

This menu items works differently than most others. It's a mini-preference menu. The Show submenu holds a selection of options to be enabled/disable by the Extras (^H) option.

Finally!    This suggestion worked!   

I wonder how that grid got into the startup actions in the first place.
