AutoCAD/ADT 2006 now includes a drawing recovery manager which is causing an inconvenience. As an ongoing backup method, I use an external hard drive to which I save copies of my working drawings several times a day. After exiting ADT2006 and later re-starting the recover manager displays indicating "You can retrieve backup files or automatically saved versions of your drawings. After a program or system failure, the Drawing Recovery Manager opens the next time you start AutoCAD. It displays a list of all drawing files that were open when the failure occurred." The listed drawings are always the ones saved to the external hard drive and upon inspection, there are no problems with the drawings. The drawing copies saved to the external drive are saved via "_save". I do not save using "save as" because that makes the external drive file the current drawing. Is there a system variable which turns the recovery manager off? I prefer not to deal with this dialog box each time I begin a new session. Thank you in advance.
