Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. This will probably
help me with some other plugins as well.

Subject: RE: [SM-PLUGINS] Weather - Create Default Setting
FYI, folks, regardless of which plugin you are using, any prefs that you
want to set as defaults (in this case, the request was for a specific
zip code and weather settings) can be inserted into the default_prefs
file and viola!
So:
1) Log into your own account and set up the plugin as you like (in
this case, set up a zip code and enable the desired weather display
items and box size)
2) open your personal prefs file in your data directory and find the
relevant settings (in this case, a line that looks similar to what's
below)
weather1=60622\Chicago,
IL\after\1\1\1\0\1\1\1\1\1\1054339129\\69°F\76°F
(24°C)\Mostly Cloudy\\S 12 MPH\53°F (12°C)\57 %\10.00
mi.\29.40" (995.3 mb)\3600\1\\\\\\\\\\1\\
3) copy this line into the default_pref file in the data directory,
and anyone who has not yet logged in will get this preference as default
Please note that the users must not have logged in before in order for
this to work. If this is not possible, you have to either write a
quickie sed script that adds that line on to the end of each .pref file
or work with the plugin author to ask for another solution.
Cheers,
Paul
