Prefdir - jcoarsey - Aug 8 17:38:00 2002



I just purchased 6.1 r12 and have it loaded on a standalone win 98
computer that is hooked to a network. In the startup process Matlab
is determining the prefdir to be "\\jead\users" plus the stuff it
adds on. The problem is that on our network the "\\jead\users" is a
network directory that no user can write to. My personal area would
be "\\jead\user\myname" but Matlab does not use this. I continually
get the messages below as a result. It cannot create the directory
since I cannot write there.

Interestingly enough if I disconnect the network and boot up and run
Matlab it determine the prefdir to be "c:\windows\application
data\mathworks\matlab\r12" which works fine. However, when I
reconnect the network and reboot and rerun Matlab it is back like
before, looking for the \\jead\user etc.

I have contacted their Technical Support and I think they are looking
at it. They seemed to think it is a user problem while out IT staff
says it is a MATLAB issue. It may well be one, since we have over
3000 users running probably 150 different software packages with no
real problems.

I am looking for a way to simply specify the prefdir I want to use
and have the program use it. Is this possible. This continual error
output is exasperating.

Thanks To get started, select "MATLAB Help" from the Help menu.
