I agree with Rune. Also I would prefer that there is way somewhere to start up matlab with a default current directory other than :

C:\Users\LOGINNAME\Documents\MATLAB

which is the case now. I always have my entire work directories (not just matlab) in logical drive D. So every time I start up Matlab, the first thing for me to do is to click the current directory drop down list and change it to something else. 

It may seem funny, but I have resisted upgrading to Matlab R2008b and still using R2006b for a long time, just because the newer release had a default directory on C.
