There are a lot of questions here like
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...=en-us&m=1&p=1
where people asks how to export birthdays from outlook contacts to
calendar reminders. The answer as far as I understand is that this
action is always performed automatically.

My question: how to DISABLE this automatic behaviour?

I don't think that's possible, except by not adding the birthdate.
