I am no expert but maybe you can write all your customisations in a file 
where you have write access and eval the entire file at the start of 
your session?

If your customisations are a couple of lines then you can always write 
it in the *scratch* buffer, and use `C-j' or mark the region and do `M-x 
eval-region'.

Hope this helps.
