SOLVED: Preventing (re-) "Save Workspace" on exit

I've recently put textpad on a new (Win (expeletive) 10) pc.

I've only just noticed that it (Textpad) saves the workspace every time I exit. I hadn't noticed it did this to me on the past! (But find now that this IS what it does, at least on XP/ Textpad 5.0.3 and Win10/ Textpad 8.1.2) this may explain some puzzles that annoyed me!)

I can see how to make LOADING the workspace automatic on START (and how to turn that off).

IS Textpad saving my workspace when I exit?

How can I turn that off, please?

(Seems a "stupid question", but I've been round and round the menus, AND done Google and forum searches!)

Yes, TextPad saves your workspace when you exit.

To preserve your workspace in its original state, close it explicitly:
File | Workspace | Close
TextPad will ask: "Do you want to save changes to the workspace?". Say No.
