Customer Accounts Statement - Batch Printout option

When producing Customer Account Statements there is a checkbox on the Options tab “Batch Printout”.  This is checked by default. 

When checked we only get 1 pdf file of ALL statements.  Whereas when unchecked we get 1 statement for each account.

As we want to email customer statements we would needs separate statements so the user would have to remember to uncheck the checkbox each time they are produced.

Is it possible to set the default to ‘unchecked’?

Thank you for looking.
