In Mechanical scripting, I would like to change the options found under Files > Options...

ExtAPI.Application.ScriptByName("jscript").ExecuteCommand('WB.PreferenceMgr.Preference("PID_Accelerated_Graphics") = -1;')

You can determine the internal name of the option (e.g. "PID_Accelerated_Graphics" in the above example) and its possible values from the dsPreferences.xml file, which can be found in the user's appdata folder, for example:
C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming\Ansys\v242\en-us\dsPreferences.xml
