Ok I removed this by commenting out line 2048 of node.module. I don't think this is a good idea, editing core modules, so if anyone has a better idea please forward.

With hook_form_alter(), you can change any form any way you like. You'll want to change the checkbox to a 'value' type, so that it cannot be modified. Typically, for each site, you'll want to make a "mysite_support.module" where you collect all the little tricks like form_alters for your particular needs.

The field spotter module can help you locate form items.

I agree, but even with content editing permissions explicitly set, and administer nodes unset, I still can't edit content. Perhaps an error with my install.
