Vantage Preferences Changed

On Friday, I used service connect to add our 2 new plants to everyone's
user ids. I have had several people complain that the status indicators
at the bottom of the main window (UID, Language, Company, Plant,
Server) have disappeared. I know they can be restored by clicking
Options > Preferences, but is there any way to change them in mass? Any
global setting somewhere?

Thanks,
Craig
