actually the answer was different than what either of you suggested,
and that may be because the question was not clear.  In our office we
are trying to discourage individual users from saving settings.  with
snap mode that is a particular problem.  imagine if you working on a
team, where each user had a different preferred snap mode, and they
were all regularly going into to drawings and changing it.  you would
never end up with your preferred mode.  The problem is that
microstation saves the snap mode with the drawing, which from this
former autocad users perspective is bizarre, if not just plain dumb.
So there are two possible approaches.  you could write some macro,
that ran at the opening of every drawing to set the snap mode to your
user preference.  That is beyond the scope of my capabilities at this
point (but probably not for long.  )  Well, fortunately microstation
recognized that having the drawing set snap mode rather than user was
errant, so they have a variable that you set at the network level to
give control back to the user.  I am mystified why bentley doesn't
have this as the default, but here is the suggestion from Askinga.com

you'll find a new variable that enables you to tell MicroStation where
to get the default snap mode and multi-snap settings from.

MS_SNAPMODE_SOURCE = 0 (or undefined) is the legacy setting whereby
the default snap mode comes from the current design file.

MS_SNAPMODE_SOURCE = 1 stores the default snap mode as part of the
User Preferences and applies it to each file upon opening. In the clip
below, pay attention to the snap mode and note how it's retained from
file to file.
