To accommodate these requirements, BOINC lets you create a 'preferences override file'. This file is read by the core client after it reads the preferences from the server, and it overrides those preferences.

You can do this using the [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gui_rpc.php read_global_prefs_override()] GUI RPC. Or you can stop and start the core client.
