Modifying Default ImageReady XMP Settings

I have begun using IR to save JPEGs so that I can retain EXIF data and in also favor adding in full XMP data. I have found that I can create a group of settings and save them in the metadata settings, but IR always reverts to its own default values and I am forced into using 4 mouse clicks to force IR to save XMP with a reference to a source file every time I create a JPEG.

Does anyone know how to get IR to modify its default metadata settings to use my desired settings rather than Adobe's?

I should note I am using PS CS here.

enjoy,

You can't, either with Photoshop or ImageReady. You can _append_ data but not replace the defaults. Try as you wish, PS and IR still replace the XMP strings.
