how to set “Remember me” as a default setting?

Jasla

My visitors want to remember their cookies in their computer and they don't want to click the option to select "Remember me on this computer" when they sign in.

So, how to set "Remember me on this computer" as a default setting?

Good idea

go into applications/dashboard/views/entry and edit a few files:
auth/password.php
registerbasic.php
registercaptcha.php
registerinvitation.php
signin.php

Inside those files, search for the line containing RememberMe. It looks something (but not always exactly) like this: echo $this->Form->CheckBox('RememberMe', T('Remember me on this computer'), array('value' => '1', 'id' => 'SignInRememberMe'));
you want to add 'checked'=>'checked' to that last array. So the final line will look like this: echo $this->Form->CheckBox('RememberMe', T('Remember me on this computer'), array('value' => '1', 'id' => 'SignInRememberMe', 'checked'=>'checked'));

Of course this means editing the core files and that is a Bad Idea (tm). There's probably another way to do this by using a theme, but I don't know for sure.

Actually there's more to it than this, now that I think about it a little more. If they uncheck the checkbox, it won't stay unchecked next time they load the form. Something else needs to happen to save their preference in a cookie.
