> Does the light stay on when the refrig door is closed?
It does, for a while - until it uses up all the oxygen and goes out.
But don't worry. The cold temperature keeps the bulb in a suspended
state until the door is opened. Then the sudden inrush of warmer air
and oxygen revives the light and it shines again.
PS. This only works for light bulbs. Do not attempt to experiment
with your wife's cat.

I'm not absolutely sure, but it appears to be a preference saved in .vee files, but not for the VEE environment itself. In other words, when you start up a new VEE, it appears to always default to checked; however if you change it in a specific program and save, it will be restored the next time you load that program, but not the next time you start up VEE from the Start menu.
The reason that I'm not absolutely sure is that the .vee source language is undocumented, even for Support
Saving a tiny .vee with the box unchecked, I see the following section in the .vee:
(device 0 ROOTCONTEXT
(properties
(trigMode deg)
(nextID 1)
(popupTitleText "Untitled")
(popupMoveable 1)
(deleteGlobals 0))
The trigMode deg looks like it belongs to the General tab of the default preferences (though I can't match up the other stuff, but I have thoughts on that below), which is why I think this is the right piece of the .vee to look at. And (deleteGlobals 0) looks to me like it means "Delete variables at prerun" is unchecked.
But I see that if I leave Delete variables checked and save, then (deleteGlobals 1) doesn't appear in the .vee as you might expect. So I think VEE only records changes from the default in the .vee. And it seems to do it in different ways for different global properties.
Of course, this explanation could be wrong, but it looks reasonable.
Finally, I see C:vee.rc on my default VEE installation. And in there I see: (delGlob yes). I think that sets the default for the development environment, later to be possibly overriden by settings in the .vee, or manual changes in the Default Preferences dialog. There's more apparent complexity, but this posting is already plenty long.
Back up your vee.rc before you use a text editor on it.
