Encryption Nightmare - I can't turn it off

[Jack]

Another wild thought.  Rename your old file (unencrypted) to the name  
of the one you newly created and see if it still encrypts it while  
saving.

Also - when you did "Save as....", after choosing XML as storage type,  
don't you get a dialog asking about which encryption key to use?  One  
of the choices on that top dropdown should be not to use any key - thus  
no encryption.
