How do I close an ACAD drawing without saving it?

We are plotting many read-only drawings which we open via Windows Explorer. We have a button made which sets all print parameters, plots and closes. I can then look at and print the next drawing.

Unfortunately, since the print parameters were changed ACAD asks, for each drawing, if I want to save. Is there any way around it?

Along the same line is there a way to open all of them as read-only without being asked for each individually?

What version of ACAD are you using? 2005 publish works farely well once you figure it out. It can still be a little buggy, but I would say after 2 wks of use I can get a consistent product 99% of the time. Not bad compared to 2000i which took more like 3 mos. at which point I built a manual :)
 
We use ACAD 2004.
Our local guru answered the question of closing w/o save. However opening in Explorer without being asked for each file is still an open question. Of course you open from within ACAD as read only and then are not asked.
