I also wanted to disable this and have found a solution:

Add this to your .gvimrc file and autocopy text on select will be disabled.

  " Following three lines remove the auto copy function from VIM
  set guioptions-=a
  set guioptions-=A
  set guioptions-=aA

Not sure there is a way to disable it, but there is a black hole register called '_', which swallows everything, and gives nothing back.

You use it by prepending "_ to the command, so "_dd would send the current line to the blackhole.
