Attached is a simple Windows XP Batch file that can be used for disabling the backups.

Save it as IPhoneDisableBackups.cmd
and run it as:

IPhoneDisableBackups.cmd true

The batch file assumes the ITunes install is on your C: drive.

If it is on another drive edit the batch file and change the c: drive to d: or whatever the drive is where ITunes is installed.

On Vista 64 the file directory is CommonProgramFiles(x86) I think so you might have to change %CommonProgramFiles% to %CommonProgramFiles(x86)% as well.
