Even if it were, on well-designed systems the temp folder will be cleared on boot; on less well designed systems it'll be cleared under circumstances your program may not be able to predict; in all cases the data has no assurance of survival between sessions.
If the admins have locked down the Preferences folder or equivalent, they've set it up to prevent user-specific data writes. If so, writing anywhere will be risky once they figure out they didn't do a complete job and then nix the method you'd come up with.
