Hi

  Is it able to automatically set the current folder and path to those of the latest closed m file, when starting matlab?
Mine is always in Desktop/Windows.
I use R2010a.  Thanks.

Specifically you will want to write something that when matlab closes (finish.m in your path) will write the current directory to your startup.m (in your startup path), so that your startup.m would contain something like

cd('C:\')

then when matlab starts it will run startup.m
