Changing Some Default Settings D7.1

>>  I have 2 questions please:

1> When I first time create an Acct on D7.1 site, I noticed the [Wall-Photo] Album under "Allow Viewing Album" is set to Members  (please see attached screenshot), I know you can edit the Album and change it to "Public", but I'd like to have "Public" as default and not "Member" so any new member will have his/her photos created as a "Public" automatically w/o editing the Album.

I'd like to do the same thing for [Wall-Video] as well, to have it set as "Public" by default.

I am not sure if this can be done from Admin, but if I can do this from the code, that would be fine too. 

2>  Please see screenshot attached, when adding new Avatar, I see "Copy to profile photos album" that is [checked] by default.  I'd like to have it [unchecked] instead and the user can check if they want to.. How do I do that please..

Thank you. 

Not sure if 1. is possible without changing this for all album functions site wide. It may be controlled by /inc/classes/bxdolalbumbs.php  and  bxdolfilesmodule.php.  but i could be wrong on that.

2.  try  /modules/boonex/avatar/templates/base/block_wide.html 

<span><input type="checkbox" name="copy_to_profile_photos" id="copy_to_profile_photos" checked="checked" /><label for="copy_to_profile_photos"><bx_text:_bx_ava_copy_to_profile_photos /></label></span>

remove checked ...
