As has already been mentioned, this has nothing to do with salt. It has to do with the fact that the session key - used to encrypt the plaintext - is random, so it will produce different ciphertext each time to encrypt a file. This is a good thing, as it makes it much harder to apply a certain type of attack on the ciphertext. I'm not sure why you would want to disable this security feature. I will say that I wouldn't use an encryption program that did not use random session keys.
