When I've experimented with this, I haven't been able to figure out a way to set my institution in their preferences, without _removing_ any existing institutions they may have already chosen. I don't want to over-write their existing preferences, if any, I just want to add my institution to them! If anyone figures out a way to do this, I'm interested too. I actually didn't know about the &inst=X feature allowing you to set the institution even just for the current session, that's awfully helpful and better than nothing, thanks!
