I don't believe that that could be the autosave file,
because it is just a link, it is ever 37 bytes in size no matter how big 
the textfile is (it's just a link ...)
I've set the option like you said, it does not matter (I've had it set 
before ...).
It's something else, but I do not now what it could be.
Has somebody any idea what that link could be and how to get rid of it?
