When I open Matlab, this appears in red in the command window:
The desktop configuration was not saved successfully
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\bme-fs-student\graduate$\lrbornhoeft\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\matlab.prf (Access is denied)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at com.mathworks.services.Prefs.save(Prefs.java:311)
at com.mathworks.services.Prefs$SavePrefsThread.run(Prefs.java:719)
ALSO, when I try to open a saved script, it gives this error:
Error using open (line162)
Failed to open Matlab Editor.
Thank you for your time and help,
Lindsey

MATLAB is trying to save your preferences to the file
\\bme-fs-student\graduate$\lrbornhoeft\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\matlab.prf
but is not permitted to access the file. Either the file already exists and has security rights set that do not permit you to access the file, or else the directory exists and has security rights set that do not permit you to create new files there.
It is possible that the file exists but is owned by Administrator. It is also possible that there is a network configuration problem that leads the network to think you are not the owner of that file because you created it on a different computer that also has access to that shared drive.
fileattrib \\bme-fs-student\graduate$\lrbornhoeft\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\matlab.prf
fileattrib \\bme-fs-student\graduate$\lrbornhoeft\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a
