Well, for "permission" stuff, you might be better off using a database server (a C/S approach).
Anyway, what you are wanting to do: Considering that a user can access from different machines, I would suggest you store the path to be accessed in your user table. Thus, no matter from where a certain user works, the path will be assigned according to his login.
I think this is preferable to anything stored on the local machines, like registry settings, or information about shared folders.
