This save box is annoying

Hello all,
In the past week I have been getting this save box when closing parts, drawings, etc. It is time consuming to keep pressing cancel for each part of the assembly. Also, it seems to be coming up on only docs that are already "Read-Only". How can I get rid of this? See attached pic.

Thanks,
PD

I wish they had a "Shut up and never come back" button.
 
I get that dialog too, but not as often as what it sounds like for you. I came across this checkbox in the options, but left it alone. Try this:

Tools
Options [System Options]
External References
[] Don't prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)

I really don't know if this will do what you want, because I've never played with this option. Let me know how it goes?
