ANY WAY TO HAVE ATB OFF BY DEFAULT?

I haven't been able to find an option or event that allows me to turn the ATB on or off.
(In rpgm2k3)
I could just be overlooking something, but if anyone has an idea or clue it would be appreciated.

It sure would be lame to go- welcome to my game! now change the options! : p

I want to have the ATB turned off, so battles are on WAIT from the start of the game. I know I can remove the option to turn ATB on and off from the players menu, but by default the ATB is turned ON.

Bummer. Thanks for the tip Chaos, that sounds like a good idea.
