Default location in matlab

In R2014b right now when I bring up MatLab the default location is: "C:\Users\User\Documents\MATLAB"
I want to change it to:
"C:\Users\User\Documents\NewFolder\MATLAB"
So my default location is more manageable to me.
I have searched Preferences maybe I missed something.

To specify that MATLAB starts up with that folder as the "Current folder", put this into your startup.m file:
cd('C:\Users\User\Documents\NewFolder\MATLAB');
I would do it in a slightly different order (as I have done on all my MATLAB installations). Create the folder first, then add it to the path and save it:
mkdir('C:\Users\User\Documents\MATLAB\NewFolder')
addpath('C:\Users\User\Documents\MATLAB\NewFolder')
savepath
