You can set the defaults in the config/prefs.php file.  For example:

// precede the signature with dashes ('-- ')?
$_prefs['sig_dashes'] = array(
    'value' => 0,
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);


'value' sets the default value that a user inherits when they first login.
'locked' sets whether the user can change the value or not.  All of this
is documented at the top of prefs.php.

You should be aware that if a user has a preference already stored in the
preferences backend (SQL usually), changing the default value will have no
impact on them.  So if you wanted to change the default Trash setting and
lock it, you would also need to go through all the existing stored
preferences and remove the Trash setting there.
