When I run a simulation I get error "Cannot CD to C:\Users\S​RINIV~1\Ap​pData\Loca​l\Temp (Name is nonexistent or not a directory) ". I searched in web and I tried teh following,

>> restoredefaultpath
>> savepath
Error using cd
Cannot CD to C:\Users\SRINIV~1\AppData\Local\Temp (Name is nonexistent or not a
directory).

Error in tempdir (line 31)
    curr_dir = cd(tmp_dir);

Error in tempname (line 18)
    dirname = tempdir;

Error in savepath>iFopenTempLocation (line 265)
name = tempname;

Error in savepath (line 149)
    [ fid tempfilename ] = iFopenTempLocation(  );

Looks like the path set in your System TEMP environment variable doesn't exist. Can you fix it to a folder that does exist, restart MATLAB and try again? Make sure that "getenv TEMP" in MATLAB returns a path that exists.

I got the following error (while is quite similar to yours) while using a function file save2pdf.m:

Error using cd Cannot CD to C:\Users\SAURAB~1\AppData\Local\Temp (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).

I think this has to do with administrative rights. Try running MATLAB in administrative mode and the problem shall vanish.

P.S. It worked for my case.

If you put the full name , instead of the short DOS ~1 name, does it work?

What does it say if you enter path after restoredefaultpath and before savepath?

[Srinivasan Pradabane]

After "restoredefaultpath" it says nothing, as u can seen in the question I have posted. I am sick about this and please help me out...

[Image Analyst]

That's not what I asked. I asked what does path say. Put these lines in your code

clc; % Clear command window
restoredefaultpath
path % print path environment variable to command window
getenv TEMP % Kaustubha's suggestion

What is in your command window after those lines execute? savepath

temp file in the C DIRECTORY of the path must be given full access control by right clicking the folder. and going to security and give full access, any of them will work .

for run temp file win key +R= Run %temp%
