The docs say that you can adjust this via the registry:

but I don't know how that would work. Maybe it's location would
already be good enough if the student's home directories are on those
drives, tho.

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.
