Since apparently you're using CWSDSTUB.EXE, you'll have to use
CWSPARAM.EXE (or similar) to change the default path "c:\cwsdpmi.swp"
to something invalid, e.g. "" (nothing), which (IIRC) by default will
just put a '\0' in the drive byte of the path.

Otherwise, you can disable at runtime, e.g. "lh cwsdpmi -p -s-" or
similar.
