Yes, disable "auto save setup" will good solution for editing config 
file of mc. Just a little lesson for understanding how mc save own ini file:

1) you may change any settings via options setup dialog
2) you may select "F9 -> Options -> Save setup" for saving now all settings.
3) if "auto save setup" option switched on, then at exit of mc all 
settings will saved automatically (like as select manually "F9 -> 
Options -> Save setup" and F10).

If "auto save setup" switched on and you'll edit config file, then after 
exit from mc all settings will rewritten automaticaly (by settings of 
running mc).

To avoid this, just switch off "auto save setup", shall exit from mc and 
run again. New running instance of mc don't will try to save settings 
automatically.
