As of Version 6, in fact, by default all cells now get a CellChangeTimes option. If you don't want CellChangeTimes at all, you can try to use the Options Inspector setting TrackCellChangeTimes->False. But I think that will apply only to cells newly created after the change. Or you could make that a global setting, applicable to all notebooks. But beware: who knows to what uses that option might be put by Mathematica. (The docs don't seem to say.)
