Disable file preview in VS2012

In VS2012 when you select a file in solution explorer it automatically opens file in a special "preview" tab.

Maybe my computer is not fast enough, but this preview is too slow for my taste.

How do I disable this feature?

I find it using the "Quick launch" new feature. Simply type "preview", and a link to the setting will be suggested. Great new feature of VS
