$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL | ForEach-Object {   
    foreach ($list in $_.lists) 
    {

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

$site = Get-SPSite http://spapplication

$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL | ForEach-Object {

foreach ($list in $_.lists)

{

You can disable it from list/library’s advanced settings. If numerous lists then the script will make it easier.
