How to save Maxwell plugin options

:?: Is it possible to save the Maxwell plugin options?
I teach Maxwell for Rhino (WIN7) and I would like all the students to have the same options. For example, I would like all the students to have the "Perform path checking" option set to yes, the "color picker" set to custom and so on.
I use a registry Scheme to make sure that all the students have the same settings for Rhinoceros.
:?: Is it possible to edit some of the keys to set the maxwell plugin options?
Thank you in advance!

If you go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Rhino\Defaults, you will find files named UserPrefs.Rhino4.xml and UserPrefs.Rhino5.xml, depending on the versions installed/used. These hold values set in the Options page, as well as other persistent session-to-session values (window location, visibility, etc). Overwriting these files with files from another machine will transfer the options from the first machine to the second.

In 2.6.15, I have added buttons in the Options page toolbar for loading/saving these files.
