[WT-support] per windows user "ops" directory?

I have a delicate configuration problem...

Maybe first let me explain what I want: I have several identical PCs and
all should run the same OS image. They are in fact used on different
bands and therefore require slightly different settings. This is easy
for stuff that can be changed in the ini file - I'm using a different
one per band. Each "band"/"function" has its own user. So theoretically
you should just login with the matching user name, launch win-test
through a lnk file that has the right .ini file in it and everything
should be setup correctly.
(So if one PC breaks during the contest, you just grab the spare one,
use the right login and everything is fine)

Only exception: there seems to be no way to have different ops
directories. It is always in
%programdata%\win-test\ops\<callsign>\<contestid>
(found the contestid here http://download.win-test.com/v4/lua/constants.wts)

Unfortunately there seems to be no way to move this directory somewhere
else - especially not into the user depend part of the file system like
%appdata%.

Why would I want to do this? In ops the wav file for CQ calling is
stored and you may need different "kind" of calls
(short/long/English/German... depending on band and time. We cannot
record from Win-test (the headset microphone is connected directly to
the transceiver), so usually the wav files are prepared before.
http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2011-March/080906.html explains
most details, but not if the ops directory could be moved.

I could of course stop using "operators" as intended (we usually don't
use logon/logoff) and "abuse" them, so would have an operator "144",
"432" etc.
That seems to work, but I would prefer a solution where I do not have to
cripple the "operator" feature...
