In any option that I have ever seen in Windows, the option is in the form of a statement.
Either opposite the default condition or opposite the existing condition.
If you want that statement to prevail, check it. If you dont want it to prevail uncheck
it. It isn't a matter of whether the statement is negative or not, just whether it
controls or not.
