Adding buttons to the Utility Menu without administrator access

The post here explains that in order to add buttons to the utility menu, files in the Program Files directory need to be changed. However, I have to request special access from our IT department to get the administrator privileges required to modify files in the Program Files directory. This would make changing the utility menu extremely inconvenient. Is there a way that I can tell HyperMesh to reference a file in the default working directory for creating the utility menu?
