How to disable autocreating of birthday reminders?

[OArkh]

There are a lot of questions here like
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...fice-outlook&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1
where people asks how to export birthdays from outlook contacts to calendar
reminders. The answer as far as I understand is that this action is always
performed automatically.

My question: how to DISABLE this automatic behaviour?

I don't think that's possible, except by not adding the birthdate.

Well, once again it seems that my computer better knows what I actually need.
Bad news...
Probably there is a way to auto-delete all autocreated appointments?

Display your calendar in a by category view, select the category and delete it.

Display your calendar in a by category view, select the category and delete
it.
.... and perform this twice a day. Thanks a lot!

I intentionally ask about AUTO-delete. I hope if the system performs
automatically some function that disturbs me, it probably can automatically
fix it? Some script for example...

A great tip. Thanks. I search for all Calendar items with "subject:Birthday" and view the search results in List View. Then just select all recurrence events in the search results and click Delete. That really cleans up all the automatic Birthday reminders in my Calendar. Thanks!
