Stop Capture 17.4 creating 'PSiceFiles' folders

Neil1234

Ever since we updated OrCAD Capture from 17.2 to 17.4, it keeps creating folders in the file directories called 'file-name-PSiceFiles'.

This is annoying since 1) 17.2 didn't do this, and 2) we don't have a PSpice licence. All the schematics are opened and saved as schematics only. All the PSpiceFiles folders it creates are empty.

I looked through the settings, preferences and extended preferences but can't find anything to stop this behaviour.

Here is our library folder, now littered with useless extra sub-folders.

Is there any way to stop this? Or is this another 'feature' of 17.4 we'll have to live with?
