I wonder if you could accomplish this with a domain policy?

Yeah,

That's what I am thinking as well. As i read the OO forums I see that
other folks have been wanting a global parameter accessable from the
option menu for a while. I guess the OO devs/Sun aren't interested in
doing this. I guess it's complex enough that normal hackers aren't
able to add a widget to this? Dunno. \

Anyway here's what I ended up doing. I wrote a little .bat file and
stuck it on a hidden share on the network:

xcopy /E /Y "\\my_server\hide$\OpenOffice.org2\*.*"
"%userprofile%\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2"

That seemed to do the trick.

Thanks Huck.
