how can i make it default to have all my "categories" "shrunk" on first load of my site?

what files would i have to modify?

That's a member option, status of categories is retained in database for each member.  When they load board index cats will be expanded or collapsed depending on how they last left them.

Is your forum closed to registrations? I only ask because if I visited a site with the categories collapsed I'd just leave instead of signing up.
