the best thing to do is to try it and see if exploiter still works or locks up. i know in netscape you can lock the history and cookie files (i do this for security). if that doesn't work, you could hide a copy of the preferences you want it to have somewhere else on the drive and put an applescript in the startup items that copies it to where it should be, hence restoring the preferences you want every time the machine is booted. in any case, just try locking the file, it will either work flawlessly or exploiter will scream or crash, but there should be no harm in trying it.
