Default disabling default "text to columns" while *.csv file opening

Does anybody knows how to disable this "feature" - every time I open csv file
I get it opened with text to columns sorted, the problem is that this does
data format check while opening and does not allow to change format of
cells.. I found one workaround - to import data to blank sheet but this is
annoyinig and time consumptive (I have to open a lot of csv files every day).
Does anybody knows how to disable it? I would be happy if I could just open
ths csv file and have data unsorted, in one cell delimited with semicolon..
I've performed some diig for answer through the websites - changing file
extension does not help, neither opening it with shift pressed, I do not have
KB943985 installed and hotfix for that does not solve this issue.. Please
help me cause now I am running out of new ideas how to get rid of this
annoying thing.
Thank you all in advance
