In SharePoint, we have an option (checkbox) to send a welcome email to newly added users and this checkbox is checked by default. In my case this option is vary annoying since in most cases we don’t send an email to newly added users but sometimes i forgot to uncheck the checkbox. So i started looking into ways to ease my life.

First thing i want to find is,  was there any global setting to flip the checkbox? but there is none. So my next option is modify/edit the aclInv.aspx page which is in Layouts folder in SharePoint hive.

1. Navigate to SharePoint Hive\TEMPLATE\LAYUTS folder.
2. Find the aclInv.aspx file.
3. This step is optional but I recommend to backup this file before making any changes.
4. open the aclInv.aspx in editor.
5. Search for “chkSendEmail”.
6. Change Checked property from True to False.
7. Save the page.

Repeat the same steps in all web front end servers.
