I have a problem with selecting the default folder that MATLAB displays on the left when I open it. I would like to change it for another of my choice but every time I run the program it always shows the same one. It's quite annoying because I open MATLAB quite often and I don't want to be looking for the same folder on and on and on forever. I've tried with "set path" but it doesn't work. I have to many folders on "my path" by default and if I want to delete them I have to do it one by one.
Is there a way to solve this?

Create a file called startup.m in the folder that MATLAB starts in and add anything you want in it for startup commands. E.g., add a cd('your desired starting folder') line.

I just change the 'Start in' directory in the properties for Matlab for the shortcut I use to open it.
