Svend Juul a �crit :
The working directory is the folder where Stata first looks
for datasets and where Stata saves data, unless told
otherwise. You can change the working folder by the -cd- command.
Stata's installation default working folder is c:\data.
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.

profile.do should be placed in an -adopath- folder; to me, the logical place is the PERSONAL folder; in Windows
typically c:\ado\personal.
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.
