Problem
Your users are regularly adding new users to their SharePoint sites and the end users are getting inundated with superfluous e-mails and such.

Solution
On all of your SharePoint front end servers you will want to modify the Add Users page named AclInv.aspx as you can see in the URL. Locate this page in the following directory C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12TEMPLATELAYOUTS.
![clip_image002[3]](http://www.sharepointassist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clip-image00231.png "clip_image002[3]")
Within the file search for the "SendEmail" string and change the following default value from True to False.

Worked like a charm
..But the problem is one of our users loves this features of having it checked by default..while the other detests it..They are both on different web applications but the same server..Do you know if we can enable it for a web application only instead of the whole server
Thanks in advance

Hi ..this is great,,Do you know if we can set it only for one web application Versus the entire server?
Arjita,
I read through your post a few days back and have been thinking about it ever since. Here’s what I’m thinking you could (and I must stress the “could” do). If you take a look at each web application in IIS you can see the virtual directory for all application pages (the pages not strored in the content databases), a creative admin could make a copy of the target directory, _LAYOUTS in this case which access c:\program files\common files\microsft shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS and literally make a copy of the directory. So effectively you would have 2 LAYOUTS directory, one for each web application.
Let me know if you have any questions.
