The default setting is managed by cookies (your last selected tab is "remembered" and that tab is selected the next time you view a file page). I don't know enough about that to tell you how to change them. You might be able to select it after page load with something like this snippet:  but I'm not sure if that would work. Might need something fancier.

The Metadata tab only shows up if the file actually has metadata, and it shows up for everyone. It's usually just junk that comes along with the original file, nothing very useful in there.
