Mountain Lion introduced a new Open dialog to reflect iOS behavior. This dialog appears in TextEdit and Preview when you launch them, and you can't disable it in the applications' preferences.

I believe that once you select "On my mac" it will remember that choice.

Yes, it does. This is a non issue, and I will actually want to start saving some documents on iCloud. ---

There is a switch top left, one for iCloud and one "On My Mac". Toggle that and it stays at your last selected option, no need to disable iCloud throughout the system. ---

If you Mac seems slow with ML something is up. I found a large speed increase on my 2009 iMac, a new Mac Mini and a Mac Book Pro. ---

How to disable the iCloud Open dialog in Mountain Lion
There is a switch top left, one for iCloud and one "On My Mac". Toggle that and it stays at your last selected option, no need to disable iCloud throughout the system.What window is this top-left switch on? Sorry to ask a dumb question, but the only thing I used iCloud Docs for in Lion was iA Writer--and I have a lot of iA Writer docs strewn around for use on my iPad and iPhone--and if I turn Documents and Data off in the iCloud Prefs on Mountain Lion, it says that it will deny me access to everything stored there until I turn it back on; so, presumably my iA Writer docs. Problem is that I have a hundred small tech chunks in iA Writer, and the thought of having to download them individually to my Mac is not what I have a computer for. Also, I do not want my TextEdit docs autosaved to iCloud. [I find the lack of ML choices so intrusive. Why didn't they give a big fat warning? This interferes with workflow; it's irritating. I lost the Activity Window, I enjoyed having a separate search function because I could use it to store something I was going to look at without the page changing. yada-yada.]

Yes, it does remember that option, but it doesn't stop the dialog from opening in the first place. Try this: open something in Preview. Close it. Go to some other program. Click back to Preview. The dialog opens. I don't want that.

I'm glad to hear there is a system-wide option to disable iCloud. Those of us who don't have and don't want iCloud should not be bothered by it cropping up everywhere in the system as a default. Good to know.

If anyone is looking for a way to stop iCloud from being the default location when saving new files (e.g., when saving something pasted into Preview), I found this page, which provides the Terminal command:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false |
