It's not just Vista, I get the same hang on initialization under XP
SP2.

See Solution Number: 1-424AAV

But my solution is a simpler patch for now. I made a shortcut that
simply executes:

restoredefaultpath;
matlabrc

which I found in the comments of the matlabrc mfile. So I simply
ctrl-c the hung initialization and then hit the shortcut button for
full startup initialization.

Mathworks needs to fix the underlying problem.
