How to Prevent Assembly From Opening Children Parts

Hello,

I'm working with a large assembly using Component Groups. My Assembly Load Options are set to:
[ul]
[li]Use Partial Loading[/li]
[li]Use Lightweight Representations[/li]
[li]Load Structure Only[/li]
[/ul]

When I load one of the Component Groups, NX physically opens some of (but not all) of the parts/subassemblies listed in the Component Group. As expected, if I then switch windows and close these parts, they close in the top level assembly as well.

How can I load a Component Group and its associated parts/subassemblies without actually opening them, and thus slowing down my computer? This seems to happen rather inconsistently, and sometimes works without opening them.

I'm using NX 8.5

Thanks!
