I personally would not want it off; it has saved my bacon enough times to
make it worth my while to delete the accumulated backup files from time to
time. But you might see whether an add-in is causing this problem. For
example, whenever I create a PDF from Word, the "Update fields" setting on
the Print tab of Tools | Options is disabled.

automatically turn itself back on.  Sometime it will happen within a day or
two and sometimes it might be a couple weeks before it turns back on.  Has
anyone else seen this or does anyone have suggestions on how to turn it off
and KEEP it off?
