It's possible to send users to google scholar using URLs such as:

http://scholar.google.co.nz/schhp?hl=en&inst=8862113006238551395

where the institution is obtained using the standard preference setting mechanism. Has anyone found a way of persisting this setting in the users browser, so when they start a new session this is the default?

Yes, I know they can go "Scholar Preferences" -> "Save" to persist it, but I'm looking for a more automated way of doing it...

cheers
