I agree. I've submitted an enhancement request that avoids that message if no tasks have changed or, alternatively, if the project was run but no programs were changed. Something like in MS Word where the 'save' button is only lit when the file is changed.
What exact version of EG do you have (in Help->About dialog)?
If your externally referenced .sas files have not changed, yet you are still getting prompted whether to save them, then that is a bug. I suggest upgrading to the latest version and update (7.15 HF3) if you are able, which may resolve the issue.
Otherwise, I suggest opening a track with SAS Tech Support.
