  Cannot turn off autosave.

Hello,  I am using Version 3.6.1c.icl8.win32 on a laptop with WinXP.
I have turned OFF (0 secs) the Auto-Save Delay as well as "Create Backups."

I have a CD full of povray scene-files that I created on one PC and need to
show on another.  I had intended, in a professional setting  (povving for
the DAY JOB!!!) to show these files to colleagues using in the Windows
povray Editor by loading them from CD.  Surely, not too an unreasonable
expectation.


However, I keep having to shut down these error messages every minute:



"Failed to save file: Access denied."

"Failed to save file 'FILENAME.EXT'
Cancel   Try Again    Continue  "



It surely ruins the professional atmosphere (and makes povray look BUGGY to
a non-enthusiast).    Perhaps either:
i) There's still something more I need to turn off, OR
ii) there is a bug in that it is impossible to turn off the auto-save.
