How to change default path on startup for Mac?

I have the newest version. I have played around with 'userpath' but no matter what I do, every time I open MATLAB it defaults to the old directory. How can I change this? Many thanks.

There is a startup.m file that you can update to change to another directory (I've done the same on my Mac) on start up. In the Command Window type
open startup.m
and the file will be opened in the editor (file located on my computer at /Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/toolbox/local). Just add a line similar to the following
cd /Users/geoff/Development/matlab
Save and restart MATLAB and see what happens.
I tried this, I had to create a startup.m file because I had none to begin with. But the directory on startup hasn't changed.

Where have you saved this startup.m file to?
I should have pointed out that there is a file, startupsav.m, found in the /Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/toolbox/local directory, that should be renamed to startup.m.
/Users/Cary/Documents/MATLAB
Thanks for your response, unfortunately I am getting MATLAB:load:couldNotReadFile error. I renamed the mentioned startup.m file and right below "load matlab.mat" I typed cd "/Users/Cary/Stats/".
Remove or comment out the load matlab.mat as it is there for show. I've attached my startup.m as an example.
Got it working finally, thanks very much for your help. Now I can focus!

Allows you to select folder on startup (and other times) also reopens files in editor and restores path.
