How do I get Quicken to stop autofilling the categories on my Schwab Bank downloads?

When Quicken downloads my Schwab Bank account info, it autofills the Category column. Obviously that is an issue, since most of the time it is wrong anyway. How do I turn it off?

    There are a few possibilities:
    Sometimes, usually with credit or debit card transactions, Quicken will guess a Category based on the Payee name. You can override this with a Renaming rule or disable it at Edit > Preferences > Downloaded Transactions > Automatically Categorize transactions.

    Or, if you have a Memorized transaction that matches the Payee, Quicken will assign the Category it finds there. I have this problem for example with Amazon transactions, because they use several different categories.
