Thanks Gary, it's a set of Windows machines. I'll see if I can figure 
something out.

It depends on your operating system:
                  Linux it is found in:  ~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS.conf
                 Windows: the registry 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS\QGIS
                 Mac:  ~/Library/Preferences/org.qgis.QGIS.plist

Setting it to read-only on Linux works. The other platforms may be more 
problematic.
