Configuring the Stat Studio Interface

The Personal Files Directory

The first time you run Stat Studio, a personal files directory called My Stat Studio Files is created. By default, the personal files directory corresponds to the Windows directory shown in Table 34.1.

Table 34.1: The Personal Files Directory

Windows XP	*C:\Documents and Settings\userid\My Documents\*
	My Stat Studio Files
Windows Vista	*C:\Users\userid\Documents\My Stat Studio Files*

It is recommended that you store the files you create with Stat Studio in subdirectories of the personal files directory. This provides the following advantages:

Each person who logs on to the computer has a unique personal files directory.
The personal files directory keeps your files separate from files distributed with Stat Studio.
If all your Stat Studio files are in subdirectories of the personal files directory, it is easier for you to back up your files.
When you open a file by selecting File $\blacktriangleright\,$ Open $\blacktriangleright\,$ File from the main menu, the dialog box contains a button that lets you navigate directly to the personal files directory.

In the personal files directory, Stat Studio creates the following subdirectories:

Classes: directory for user-written Java classes
Data Sets: directory for SAS data sets
Matrices: directory for IMLPlus matrices stored on the client computer
Modules: directory for IMLPlus modules
Programs: directory for IMLPlus programs
