You're not going to like it: AFAIK this is stored in the registery. But 
you can imagine having a dump of the proper keys done on windows exit 
(to a flat file). Under windows 2000, you would run that as a logoff 
script (group policies in the mmc). Under windows 9x, I don't know. I 
don't know if regedit can work as a command line, but maybe some 
command line tool exists.
