Turning off slices in Photoshop's "Save for Web & Devices" without deleting them?

Question

I have a document set up with slices in Photoshop. If I want to export the whole PSD as one large JPG and no other files, can I do it? I don't see any option to select combine all the slices into one just while exporting.If I hide the slices with the View menu, it doesn't seem to make a difference once I get into 'Save or Web & Devices'. I know I could do this with 'Save As', but I like the ability to resize the exported image right there.

This should do the trick.

1. Go to View → Clear Slices (last option)
2. Make sure that the Slice Tool is not selected while saving for web
3. Open up the Save for Web menu
4. Click the Optimize Menu (icon parallel to "Preset:" drop down in the top right (small drop menu icon)), select Edit Output Settings...
5. Make sure you have set the settings to default - OR make it Custom and under the Background dropdown, set View Document As to "Image".
