Hello,
I want to know how to change the default value of the check boxes when creating
a program shortcut after installation so that it is no longer checked by
default.
Which part of the program needs to be changed?

Can you please clarify with an example ?
Which shortcut do you mean ?
Maybe you should look on the Command Line options for already available
options :
$ ./setup-x86_64.exe --help
Cygwin setup 2.917
Command Line Options:
...
-d --no-desktop Disable creation of desktop shortcut
...

If you search for that option text in the source code you'll end up
looking at:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-apps/setup.git;a=blob;f=desktop.cc
Note that a patch to simply reverse the default setting of that option
(i.e. make it unset by default, and require the user to click that
checkbox to create the shortcuts (meaning that most users will have to
do that) would not be acceptable.
Probably what's wanted is to remember the state of those checkboxes, if
this isn't the first time setup has been run?
