How can I PERMANENTLY disable/hide "Target Path" on shapes?

I'm currently using Photoshop version CC2023.  MacOS 13.5.  I didn't used to have this annoying issue with previous versions.  
Whenever I create a shape, whether a square, circle, whatever...I get the blue bounding box/outline whenever that layer is selected.  So I have to manually "hide" that outline by going to VIEW>SHOW>TARGET PATH and uncheck it.  I have to do this every time I open a new file.  Since I work with a lot of files, I'm constantly having to do this manually.  
My question:  Can I PERMANENTLY disable(HIDE) the Target Path, so that whenever I open a new file, I won't have to manually hide it?  
It's highly annoying, especially when I need to add a stroke to these shapes.   
Even when I manually hide the Target Path, save the file, close the file, then reopen the file, the Target Path is again shown.  Annoying.
