Set Search Path of Network Folder

I am attempting to use the Set Path Dialog in order to add a mapped network drive to my list of workspace search paths. When I attempt this on Windows 7 the path is only valid for the current application instance. Once I restart Matlab the path is no longer saved. I am running as an administrator and I do have permissions to write to the pathdef.m file. This isn't a problem when running Windows XP.

Matlab2010b OS: Windows 7

Thank You, Craig

If I manually edit the pathdef.m located at

MATLABROOT\toolbox\local

The settings will remain persistent for each application instance. Using "Savepath;" or using the Set Path Dialog still does not work at this time but manually editing the file is an adequate solution for now.

I've the same problem.

thanks for your input. However, my colleague's able to save the path permanently once he set it but I can't. Any ideas?
