Hi Vincent,

Is it possible to install AIJ in each student's personal folder, maybe as part of the account setup, to see if that
would solve the problem? All that would require is copying the AstroImageJ installation directory from anywhere in the
network (no specific other setup steps would be required). If that works, then the students could take advantage of
updates to AIJ if necessary, and retain settings between sessions. I realize that would not make the most efficient use
of disk space.

The reason I'm trying to find an alternate solution is that the AIJ_Prefs.txt file path is determined from within the
ImageJ code that AIJ is built on top of, so it is not trivial to change how the path is set. Are there any other
installation options that would avoid the use of the Windows overlayer and the temporary file system to solve the problem?
