I would imagine/hope its not possible (for security reasons).

If it is, its probably something set in /Library/Preferences, but thats just a guess.

AppleScript with UI scripting turned on can check/uncheck anything. I think the user will see it happen though...

You will also get issues for users like me who lock down the System Preferences (as everyone should)
