Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week
This submission provides directions on how to instruct MATLAB to begin in the final working directory from the previous session of MATLAB.
There are no m-files included with this submission, just directions on how to modify startup.m and finish.m
Note: This capability was introduced directly into MATLAB, so these directions are no longer as of R2014b. There is now a preference (Preferences -> MATLAB -> General) to specify the initial working folder as the last working folder from your previous MATLAB session.

Thank you, I added "clear lwd" as suggested and works.
Very handy! Nice work Michelle.
One suggestion: add 'clear lwd' at the end of the commands in startup.m to leave a clean workspace.
Thanks.
