I made the mistake of enabling the auto-save feature on Flash CS6. Now every ten minutes, flash will lock up for 2 minutes and 14 seconds (I timed it) while it saves. I unchecked the auto-recovery tick under preferences, but it did not stop the auto-save feature. Is there any way to disable it? This makes animating anything ludicrously more time consuming and frustrating.

Make a copy of the fla just in case. Then rename it from "file.fla" to "file.zip." All your stuff will be in there, but in different formats. Not entirely sure where to go from there, maybe re-zip and rename back to fla or something, or maybe there's something inside Flash Pro you can do

I'm wondering if I could find where flash saves the preference settings and delete the folder, if it will reset all the settings and restore the auto-save to its initial "off" setting.

It's not really a preference like that, it's in the fla. You may want to just copy all your frames to a new fla.

If ya have something to say, PM me. I have a lot of time to spare.
Also never PM egg82.
