"Plug-In Settings" sub-folder???

New issue for me: PT9/Win7 now creates extra sub-folders in my session folder, such as "Plug-In Settings" folder (and others). Since I store my user plug presets in the root folder, I do not want a "Plug-In Settings" sub-folder placed into each session folder. I do not recall this happening in the past. How to NOT do this? What am I missing? Thanks for the help !!!
