hl2 autosaves off

can someone give me the console line to shut the autosaves off.

i have tried: sv_autosave 0 and sv_autosave "0" to no avail.

game is running great in 1280x1024 and all settings on high as well as aa-4x and af-8x in the cp.(except for the autosave stutter)

intel4 3.0
x800pro on 4.12(beta)
1 gig ram
sound blaster audigy 2

I did the sv_autosave 0 thing awhile ago in console, and it turned off autosave for me...

I got pretty far (playing for like 20 mins) and died, and I respawned at the point right before I typed sv_autosave 0.....

So it should work....

sv_autosave 0 stops the autosaves that occur between levels. To stop all autosaves, including the ones that occur while your playing, go into your HL2 saves directory and change the following files to Read-Only:

autosave.sav
autosave.tga
autosave01.sav
autosave01.tga

can you please tell me where the save game files are (by default), I seem to be having trouble locating them.
