Hello, We can save dashboard preferences to a file locally on the desktop we use. Is it possible to save preferences so that each time Kibana 3 url is accessed, the saved dashboard comes up?

You can put them under $KIBANA\_HOME/app/dashboards and then access them via $KIBANA\_URL/index.html#/dashboard/file/filename. Or just use a customised default dashboard with links to all the dashboards. The only thing to note is that these dashboards stored with the kibana instance are read only.
