Setting LabVIEW Default Directory with only Runtime engine available

I have a target system that contains the LabVIEW Runtime Engine (8.5) installed.  The VIs (being called from TestStand), have embedded in them the LV directory constants for TEMPORARY DIRECTORY, DEFAULT DIRECTORY, DEFAULT DATA DIRECTORY.  In the LabVIEW Development environment, we would set these values by going to Tools::Options::Paths.  How can these be set with just the Runtime Engine?

LabVIEW settings are saved in the LabVIEW.ini file. To transfer them to an application, you need to copy the relevant lines to the application's INI file and place them in the [appname] section.

I don't know the names of the specific keys for these settings, but the names are usually easy to understand and you know what the values are. Go through the LabVIEW.ini file until you find the relevant lines.
