    Even disabled jobs can be run. You can do so manually by right clicking on the job and selecting start job, or using msdb.dbo.sp_start_job stored procedure.

    Which version and service pack of sql server are you running? I tested it on my standard Edition, SP2 and job didn't run once its disabled even though schedule was kept enabled.

    How do you disable the jobs, through the SSMS UI or through script?

    If through script, you must use the msdb proc sp_update_job:

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_job @job_name = @jobName, @enabled = 0;

    If you have DTS or SSIS packages, they may be calling some of those jobs and they'll run when called whether they're disabled or not.
