If I understood your first message correctly, you are storing your tex documents within your context directory. This is a VERY bad idea because
1. mkiv checks the checksum of your context tree. When it changes, it will regenerate the format, that's what you see happening
2. in case of an update, your files could get deleted or overwritten.
ConTeXt (and TeX in general) can be a bit overwhelming at first if you have never used such a system. I don't know how experienced you are with computers in general, but I would suggest you read some introductory material on TeX (though I admit that I just looked around a bit, and couldn't find any simple document which explains the TeX directory structure and how to use it).
