Remove new User preferences
Scan using model files (DDM data support) and Load root item using default load rule were new preferences in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager 14.50. You can make the preferences unavailable to users (the preference will still appear on the Preferences tab, but the user cannot change the value).

2. Edit so that <DefaultValue> is false and <Protect> is true.
Re-enable User preferences
Load containers and Create thumbnails were disabled in Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager 14.50. Depending on the version installed, you may need to re-enable these preferences. To do so,
1. Copy the entire Load containers and Create thumbnails preference definition from wmconf.xml to your custom xml file.
2. Edit so that <DefaultValue> is true.
