Shapes-tool creating a vector mask every time, cannot seem to fix in CS3?

Question

Every time I create a shape using the shape tool, it places a vector mask on top of this. I don't know how I enabled this but it does not do it on my laptop version, only my desktop.

I can seem to disable this problem I am having. Even reinstalling and restoring defaults I cannot seem to stop this.

Very frustrating, anyone have a fix for this problem? Thanks in advance!
