Up until now I have been able to view variables from .mat files in variable editor, either by opening the file with the open command in the workspace or by adding a breakpoint in my code (the current variables were automatically displayed in the variable editor). However, now I am not able to view variables from a .mat file in the variable editor.

I am using Windows 7, and I see that Windows started to recognize my .mat files as Microsoft access files. I cannot run the utility to change the file association, because I got this license through my university and when I try to run it I get the error message "??? Error using ==> fileassoc No permissions to modify the registry." I have changed the file association in Windows > Default Programs and right clicking the file, selecting "open with" and then selecting Matlab rather than Microsoft Access, but it still does not work.

I see that people who used Windows XP have posted solutions to this problem (<http://ask.metafilter.com/140324/How-do-you-open-MAT-files-with-variables>) but all of the options have changed in Windows 7. Does anyone have any guidance on this issue?
