You can not turn this behavior off. I think what you mean is that when you
add a file to the filegroup the data is not re-balanced to evenly distribute
the data across all files including the new one. This is the way the system
is designed. You would have to force it by rebuilding indexes, but this
introduces a space requirement and a period in which the table is offline
during the rebuild.
