I feel rather stupid for not realising that, thanks for the advice. Ideally I'd like to turn off this default behaviour open it in a 3D window.
I am still interested in the original question though, is it possible to package polydata and a texture map in a single file so when it is opened you see textured mapped geometry, rather than having to import the polydata with texture coords and then apply a texture through the display tab?
