The option is AutoGeneratedPackage, and it can be set on a per-notebook
basis or at the global level. As usual, if the option is not specified at
the notebook level, it is inherited from the global level.
You can find documentation for this option here:
FrontEndExecute[
FrontEnd`HelpBrowserLookup[
"OtherInformation",
"AutoGeneratedPackage"
]
]
You may change the option from the Option Inspector dialog or with
SetOptions[], using $FrontEnd or EvaluationNotebook[] as the first
argument.
