Hi all
I need to do run my project on my University lab which have user privileges and multiuser desktop, definitely I cant set path on C: directory and prompt to save pathdef.m to another destination, so where should I save my pathdef.m? In my project folder? I saw some place said that copy the pathdef.m file into your startup folder, may I know where is startup folder?
Thank you.

The startup folder is the folder, which is active after starting up. So start Matlab and type cd.

This is a bug in Matlab.
The need to change access right is a bug and not intended.
Getting admin rights is for users in companies not always possible.
Getting help from IT is for users in companies not always possible.
A tool which needs that is for such users not suitable.
(Matlab developers might see that differently, and this feedback is from user perspective)
(assume IT is outsourced)

The procedure is detailed here:
Basically setup the path the way you want. Then do
savepath foo/pathdef.m
where foo is your startup directory. You can specify the startup directory in a number of ways. On windows you can edit the shortcut ( http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2011a/techdoc/matlab_env/f8-10506.html#f8-12959 ).

I am confused. It seems like the documentation for past releases requires an account and maybe a license. I now have to think about how to share the location of "help". In general the help isn't release sensitive, but there is no easy way of getting the link to the versionless location.

Google finds the versionless location very fast- just serach for "Matlab savepath", e.g. http://www.google.de/search?q=Matlab+savepath
You find:
http://www.mathworks.de/help/techdoc/ref/savepath.html
The pattern is the same for all commands, simply replace "savepath" by the name of the command. This matchs even commands from special toolboxes.

Hi all, I still failed to store my pathdef.m. Here are the steps I follow.
First try: Store pathdef.m in startup directory, e.g.:
'C:\Users\VS314\Documents\MATLAB'
and setup the path:
>> savepath C:\Users\VS314\Documents\MATLAB\pathdef.m
Second try: Store pathdef.m in my current system folder, e.g.:
'K:\mat\System\'
and setup the path:
>> savepath K:\mat\System\pathdef.m
Anything wrong? Or I miss some steps? Do I need to edit my code to refer the path after I set pathdef.m?

You need to name the file along with the path your are giving.
So go to the menu Home>Set Path, then set up your path and save.
Then, in Matlab command window:
>> savepath 'C:\Users\LeChat\Documents\MATLAB\pathdef.m'
Then restart Matlab and your path should be the one you saved before.
Hope this helps.

Doesn't work for me. I have the same problem that I can't write files where I need to to permanently control my path
