How does DrRacket decide where to put/find user preference files (e.g. language selection, teachpacks, fonts, auto-save, recently opened files, etc.)? For example, is there a way to persuade DrRacket on a Windows machine to look in a particular place on a particular lettered drive?
Our computing center has locked down the lab computers so they're all restored to a pristine state on reboot. But they have a "persistent drive" which doesn't get wiped, and I'm negotiating with the computing center to get each student a drive that maps to that student's individual password-protected storage. Can we get DrRacket to look for a preference file in one of those places? I have no idea how those preference files are organized -- I assume there's some kind of keyword/value property list -- but one possible implementation is an "include" property that refers to another file location, and acts as though the contents of that file had been inserted here.
