But few of them accidentally click that checkbox, so each time we need to clear the

Solution
No, this is not possible, unless you reverse engineer SSMS and either hide the checkbox or make it a no-op, then recompile and deploy. And repeat every time you upgrade, apply a service pack, etc. (To be clear: this is not what I recommend.)
I have a better solution, though:
Why don't your 4-5 employees use different profiles? This takes a tiny bit more disk space, sure, but each profile gets its own SqlStudio.bin - then you could use Windows Authentication, too, which means they don't have to type their password or check a box, and it simplifies auditing, too, in case this isn't the most egregious thing they do.
