The shared file is where all the user/server objects are written, so no, there is no way to turn things off, and I can safely say if you are deleting the shared file on-the-fly, you are making matters far worse, as you have to remember the QVS keeps a lot in memory, so when you are deleting the file, it is going to just recreate from memory, but that is also likely going to cause memory corruption eventually too. If you want to delete a shared file, you need to stop the QVS service, then delete and then restart the QVS service, doing any other way is risking corruption of the environment.
The check the QVS settings in the QMC, in particular the Document tab settings, be sure Allow Session Recovery is not checked, that creates a lastknownstate bookmark and updates every time a user exists their session, shutting that off will mean the user always starts at the default page. You will want to turn that off, then delete the shared file to clear any lastknownstate/session recovery bookmarks. You can also uncheck the Allow Server Objects, which will only allow normal user/server bookmarks which should not be a huge issue. If you are running a release that supports the tshared file format, I would also recommend you enable those too.
About the best advice I can offer, here is a link to shared file help that will come in handy regarding cleaning the file etc. if you want to try that too.
