Deploy VLC for all users with shared configuration

I am working on deploying VLC for all users with a specific skin & settings, I have generated and saved all settings.
My plan was to distribute a common vlcrc file with these settings + the skin file to all client machines,
however it seems VLC Player reads the settings vlcrc file from C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\vlc.

Running setup.exe with ALLUSERS=1 parameter does not help, most applications should read its settings from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
in this case however this does not seem to work with VLC.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

You can't do it if not changing the code inside VLC.
