Put the SetOptions statement in the Kernel init.m file (not the Front
End init.m file). In Windows, you can find it somewhere like
C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\5.2\Configuration\Kernel
You can put lots of useful things in the Kernel init.m, for example you
can have it load packages.
