R2008a, MATLAB Version 7.6, the tool will be referred to as the Variable Editor.
Search Path — Changes to User Portion
By default, MATLAB adds a directory to the top of the search path upon startup, known
as the userpath directory. By default, its value is Documents/MATLAB on Windows
platforms, or My Documents/MATLAB on Windows Vista platforms. On UNIX and
Macintosh platforms, the default directory is userhome/Documents/MATLAB. Use the
new function, userpath, to specify a different directory, clear the userpath value,
or reset it to the default value. On UNIX and Macintosh platforms, you can specify
additional directories for MATLAB to add to the top of the search path upon startup
using the MATLABPATH environment variable. When you remove the userpath portion of
the search path, it clears the value for userpath and might impact the startup directory.
For related information, see “Startup and Shutdown” on page 18-2. For details see
Locations for Storing Your Files and the userpath reference page.
Compatibility Considerations
In previous versions, on Windows platforms, MATLAB added the default directory to the
search path upon startup, even if you removed it and saved the changes to the path. On
UNIX and Macintosh platforms, MATLAB did not add a directory to the search path on
startup.
