How to change the default path by using command?

Dear all,

I want change the default path to my project-document when MATLAB is starting, so that I need not to change it manually every time when I use the software.

Anyone know that how to do it? Can I finish it by the command?

Thanks a lot~~~

Use pathtool() and ask it to save the path.

Or manually:

addpath(YourFolder);
savepath;

You can edit your startup.m file and put a cd command in there to change the starting "Current folder" - that's what I do. I change it from time to time as I concentrate on different projects.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the startup.m?

do you mean pathdef.m?

[Image Analyst]

No. Type startup into the help and see what it says. Basically, see what folder MATLAB puts you in when you first start it. Then create a file called startup.m in that folder, and then place your call to cd() in there.

cd('C:\wherever');
