This flag allows applications to disable the AutoFilter feature no matter how it was enabled. Since it can be enabled via global settings in the MIAME.INI—see OPTIONS=XTAUTOFILTER—this allows applications to disable the feature for a single tree at a time. Some reasons you might want to disable it is to avoid end user confusion in places where filtering doesn't make sense, such as in multi-level trees (where filtering only affects the top level), or in extremely large trees (to reduce overhead), or simply for testing purposes.
