Hi Alex,
Why would you want to disable it? What it does is create a file that can be
used to recover a document that was open if the system crashed for some
reason. The file that it creates is deleted whenever the document is closed
in the normal fashion.
Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps
