The profile.do file belongs in the same directory or folder as your executable.
By the way, I think you need a really good reason to -set type
double-. There has been much discussion of this, e.g.. a long thread
starting at
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-02/msg00943.html
A profile.do file could also include setting up your favourite graph
scheme and settings for -netio-.
