See if there is anything in the C++ windows API to change the
workgroup.  It might be considered something too dangerous to trust to
non-OS code.


Scan the Google to see if anyone has a solution, then encapsulate it
with an exec or JNI.
see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jni.html
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/exec.html


If you were willing to endure great expense and pain, you would get
some sort of disassembler or trace debugger and watch
C:\Windows\System32\control.exe 
to see what it does when you manually change the workgroup.
I used to do this all the time with 16-bit code. Then the guy who
wrote my disassembler died and the tracer Periscope went out of
business.
