Providing browsers and their Prefs file

This may be a Mac question-- I haven't played with this system on a PC,
yet...

I will be providing a site to customers on a CD, as a marketing tool.
I'll be including browsers (IE 5/Mac, IE 5.5/Win, and NN4.76 for both)
on the CD, with the idea that I'll get them to start up the browser of
their choice and have my index page show up as the browser's initial
home page.

Well and good, but on the Mac, the browsers store their home page
setting in Preferences files on the hard drive. When I set IE's initial
home page, for example, it saves that information on the hard drive. If
I start up a different copy of IE, it uses that same information and
opens the same home page.  HOWEVER, when I give this disk to a
customer, IE will use any settings already stored on their hard drive,
or it will start up with its own default (blank, I believe).

So, please tell me, how do I get around that?

It would make sense to store the appropriate Preferences file on the
CD, and have the customer "open" it to start the browser, but I
couldn't find the file in question.

p.s. Yes, yes, I have checked into Netscape & Microsoft permissions for
providing browsers. Netscape's legal document is quite amusing, in a
"We have all the power, you have none" kind of way. Microsoft's is
merely mildly contradictory.

Many thanks,
