Problem

 When Checking in a document,in the web UI, can I reset the defaults so that the 'delete historic versions' is deselected?  Also is there a similar setting for the 'delete local copy' option.

Solution

 Settings can be modified in the web.config file

When checking in, deselect the delete historic versions option

The file is (path to virtual directory)\PlugIns\DocumentManager\ Media\CheckIn.aspx, open it in note pad, go to line 17, the text will read:

<asp:CheckBox ID="deleteOldFiles" Text="Delete Historic Files" runat="server" AccessKey="o"
            Checked="True" Visible="True" />

Change the highlighted text to “False”:

<asp:CheckBox ID="deleteOldFiles" Text="Delete Historic Files" runat="server" AccessKey="o"
            Checked="False" Visible="True" />

The box will now not be checked.

When checking in, the delete local copy should be checked
The file is (path to virtual directory)\PlugIns\DocumentManager\ Media\CheckIn.aspx, open it in note pad, go to line 15, the text will read:

        <asp:CheckBox ID="deleteLocal" Text="Delete Local Copy" runat="server" AccessKey="l"
            Visible="True" />

Add the following highlighted section:

        <asp:CheckBox ID="deleteLocal" Text="Delete Local Copy" runat="server" AccessKey="l"
            Checked="True" Visible="True" />
