The double-clicking to open folders doesn't work for "Documents and settings" or for "My music": does it have something to do with multi-word with spaces names?

I'm sorry to report that sorting doesn't work. Nothing seems to happen after the folder has been sorted by name.

This may be a good start. I've tried browsing through folders however, and instead of allowing me to go into folders the tool would just select the folder and return it. Perhaps this is a design feature? If it is, it shouldn't be. Double-clicking a folder should open it.
I had to do a little tweaking on my own to make it work, though. In my installation the preferences directory is constructed from the UserProfile environment variable, plus a subfolder structure (ApplicationData/MathWorks ...) which I couldn't figure out how to change. So if you want to copy your preferences from one project to another you have to copy the entire structure and not just the contents of the folder returned by prefdir().
Also, one annoying side effect -- each "project" so defined will have its own helpdesk favourites, which is probably not that useful.
