i did what you advised - creating a new folder and then just leaving the startup.m in the work directory.. then i changed my current directory in matlab from work to the new folder that i created.. it's working and everything seems to be fine now since i can access the new files generated by matlab, so thank you for this..

but i have a newb question to ask.. isn't the work folder some sort of the default folder for matlab, therefore would i be having problems in the future for some other files going into the work directory? or is it that since my current directory is already the new directory that i created, then i wouldn't have to worry about the old work directory anymore? and what's the use of the startup.m file left there? sorry if this is such a newb question, thanks for the help!
