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.

Thnaks to anyone who read the post and considered making a reply. But, I
found the answer which is:

RECOVERYMODE System Variable controls whether drawing recovery information
is recorded after a system failure. Following are the different values and
their results:



0 Recovery information is not recorded, the Drawing Recovery window
does not display automatically after a system failure, and any recovery
information in the system registry is removed

1 Recovery information is recorded, but the Drawing Recovery window
does not display automatically after a system failure

2 Recovery information is recorded, and the Drawing Recovery window
displays automatically in the next session after a system failure
