I am trying to run Octave on Windows XP. I had previously run QtOctave (PortableApps version) and it worked Ok. Later I installed Octave 3.2.3 and it also worked Ok. Now today for some reason Octave 3.2.3 has it in its head that the default paths should point to a non-existent drive (D:\qtoctave\...). I don't know how it got that way, I can't find any files on my hard disk that have that path as text in them, and I can't find how to set the default paths back to the right place on C. I tried path(genpath(<path to my Octave 3.2.3/.../share root>) but get error that it can't find 'find'.
I tried re-installing Octave 3.2.3, still the same problem. I tried running QtOctave and now it too comes up with the same non-existent path. How can I fix this?
