How can I change the default location of the Adobe Premiere Pro (creative cloud) media cache location?

Adobe Premiere Pro on Windows machines stores its ‘media cache’ files in the %appdata% directory. On our network, this is redirected to a server share, and consumes significant amounts of storage space, while suffering increased latency for the user.
Each user can manually change the setting in the UI, and store these files elsewhere. This appears to modify a Current User registry key.

I work at a school, and relying on the students to change this setting correctly is a recipe for disaster!

I’m also under additional constraints, in that I have no access to group policy, and also have no ability to change the folder redirections or try to add exceptions for this particular folder.

I need a way to change the default location of the media cache to the local drive (C:) rather than the user’s %appdata% folder.

Context: Windows 7 64-bit, Adobe Creative Cloud 2015, Windows Server 2012 enterprise domain.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

P.S. I would have added more meaningful tags, but don’t have the reputation.
