disabling automatic locks.

Hi guys. I've recently updated from my '93 explorer to a 2002 model.The automatic locks are driving me crazy(it's a short trip). How can I disable this b-4 I jump off a cliff???
I tried to do a search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks

from the 2002 user manual (found online):

DEACTIVATING/ACTIVATING POWER DOOR LOCK DISABLE
FEATURE
Steps 1–3 should be completed within 30 seconds.
1. Turn the ignition key to ON, then press the UNLOCK button 3 times.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF, then press the UNLOCK button 3 times.
3. Turn the ignition key to ON, within five seconds press the UNLOCK button 2 times then LOCK once.

The user should receive 2 horn chirps to indicate the system has been disabled or 2 chirps followed by a honk to indicate the system has been enabled.

Pressing the power door LOCK button two times again will turn the feature ON if it was previously OFF, or OFF if it was previously ON. Every two consecutive presses of the LOCK button after successfully entering the configuration mode will change the enable/disable condition of the feature.
Turn ignition to OFF to exit programming. A horn chirp will follow if the feature state has been changed.
