Hello Thraka!

I believe the auto-creation was fixed in a rather late A48 prerelease (startup.mps/mpx was incorrectly included from A47 and onwards):

 - If you have started with a fresh A47 install and you did not intentionally
   install a startup.mps/mpx file then you should delete startup.mps and
   startup.mpx from your scripts directories.  The default installation for A47
   was accidentally installing a startup.mps and startup.mpx in the script
   directory and its important to remove it if you started with a fresh A47.

Although this "bug" was introduced in A47, it was present for a long time in A48, too. So make sure to delete startup.mps/mpx if you have it/them.

Best regards
