You didn't mention what version of xl you're using so I can't attest to versions other
than 2k, but;
In 2k I deselect the "Prompt Before Saving" checkbox to allow it to do the save in the
background and not get in my way.

Auto save is truly a mixed blessing. Nice to be reminded but with it
jumping to the first sheet in the work book sure can mess things up..
