MATLAB: Cd desktop windows Vista/7

Question

Hello everyone!

Let me ask a simple question which I dont know if is possible to do it easily.

Due to the fact that the path to desktop requires the name of the user:

c:\documents and settings\(username)\desktop

is there a fast or direct way to set or access using this "cd" command?

For example:

cd desktop

thanks!

Hi,

not really. What might help is something like this:

u = getenv('USERPROFILE');
cd(fullfile(u, 'Desktop'))
