Scale without interpolating

Quick tip needed: I make pixel art in PS CS3, I want to scale it, it interpolates. Can I somehow disable antialiasing while scaling?
Zooming in, making a snapshot and pasting does work, but is a pain in the ass... Any advices welcome!

change image to Indexed colour, then change image size by 200%, or 300 % or 400 % etc etc.

I hoped there's a way to do it on the fly, while scaling?

Duh, in other words no "turn AA off" button? Agentfour's solution is good, but not that handy while I combine other elements that shouldn't be resized, a photo for example.

in photoshop, goto preferences and you'll see "interpolation settings"... change that to nearest neighbor... that'll preserve the hard edges...

Resample Image - Nearest Neighbour in Image Size dialogue.
If I'm scaling elements in a piece I paste them into a new image and scale there using this option.

Another tip for pixel art - if you have artwork on a transparent layer with antialiasing going from 100% opacity to transparency duplicating the layer and pasting down on itself about 10 times will cause every semi-transparent pixel to be brought to 100% opacity giving a non-antialiased hard edge.

It doesn't make me happy that there isn't a perfect solution, but it does make me happy that I wasn't overseeing something very obvious.
- nearest neighbor together with 100%,200% etc is about as perfect as it theoretically can beribit
