How to turn off automatic lines between shapes visio 2007

Aaaaugh! Just upgraded from Visio 2002 to Visio 2007 and finding the
upgrade is a major drag on my productivity. In Visio 2007, basic
shapes have link handles (look like transparent arrow heads) around
the cardinal directions on the shape. Passing the mouse point over or
near one of these handles after positioning a shape frequently causes
a line/connector to be inadvertently drawn from the shape to wherever
the mouse happens to be when I realize it is doing this and start
screaming.

How can this behavior be turned off/disabled?

What is it called so I can search help for on how to disable it?

An alternative way to toggle this mode on/off: on the standard toolbar there
is an icon that looks like a square with 4 arrow heads in the cardinal
positions. One click on / one click off.

Enjoy.
