Just a precision : there is no real Stata default directory.  In fact, 
the default directory for stata is the directory selected as "start in" 
in the property of the shorcut that launch Stata. You can change the 
deafult directory by editing the properties of the shortcut.
Then you can also have 2  Stata shorcuts pointing 2 different directory 
if you have 2 running projects.

Nice precision, I miss that point ! And that could be useful to have a 
profile.do independent of the working directory. 
And I use this occasion to thanks you for the very useful books you have 
wrote.
