Normal.dot autorecovery

[sbloom]

Is there a way to disable autorecovery saving for Normal.dot without
turning AutoRecovery all altogether? I make a change to Normal.dot
perhaps once a week and don't need it autosaved every 10 minutes.

Making changes to normal.dot once a week is a lot, at least for me.

I don't know of autorecovery information being saved for normal.dot unless
changes have been made.

Do you have the option checked to prompt before saving changes to
normal.dot? You should.
Tools > Options > Save

What tells you that normal.dot is being autosaved every ten minutes?

A message on the status bar. And Word freezes while it's happening. And
sometimes I get a message telling me it's failed.

None.

No antivirus program - this is a problem!

I use AVG which does not seem to cause the problems that Norton does. Mine
catches at least one virus- or worm-infected message a week.
