The change files write the changes that servers make on your config with the sv_cvar command. If you do not want these files use this:

b_backupcvars 0

note*, this means your settings will be permanently changed to the sv_cvar setting unless you or another server changes it again

Or you load your settings from a file everytime you start the game. What Gotenks is getting at is that it is a good idea to keep the setting at 1 so that you can see what is going on and just delete the files as they build up.

What if you have an autoexec? That should reset all of your cvars right?

As long as you have every cvar in it, yes. That is what I do.
