How to disable annoying 'parenthesis completion'?

Question
Whenever I type a (, [, or {, Notepad++ completes it with the corresponding closing bracket. I find this 'feature' annoying and would like to disable it. It doesn't seem to be listed in the Preferences dialog and a search of the online documentation didn't yield any useful result. Does anybody here know where the option for this is hidden? I'm currently using Notepad++ 5.0.3.
Solution
TextFX > TextFX Settings > Uncheck +Autoclose {([Brace
OTHER TIPS
From version 6.6.8 onward:
Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion
In the second grouping called "Auto-Insert", check/un-check the appropriate auto completion/inserts.
Actually it's more probable it's turned on in the ConvertExt plugin : Plugins->ConvertExt->Options Tab Notepad++: uncheck brackets autocompletion
If none of the above helps (as in my case), there's also a plugin called Xbrackets Lite.
Plugins -> XBrackets Lite -> Uncheck Autocomplete brackets.
I seem to recall installing this because the other two (settings/auto-complete and TextFX .. AutoClose) did not work.
