MATLAB: How to specify the matlab.ini file used by the MATLAB Notebook to be located only in the preferences directory

directoryenvironmentalMATLABmatlab.ininotebookprefdirpreferencesvariablewindir

There are two copies of the matlab.ini file in most installations of MATLAB where the MATLAB Notebook has been configured — one in the directory listed in the WINDIR environmental variable, and one in the directory given by the PREFDIR function. I would like to know if the two INI-files can be combined into one.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
The ability to store the matlab.ini file for Notebook solely in the preferences directory is not available in MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1).
There are currently no known workarounds.
