I would like to set some initial variables (like format compact and the current directory) automatically on each startup of Matlab.
How can I do that?

Startup Options in MATLAB Startup File m file in a folder on the MATLAB search path. Use startup. m to modify the default search path, predefine variables in your workspace, or define defaults for graphics objects.
startup executes user-specified commands when starting MATLAB®. Create a startup. m file in the userpath folder, which is on the MATLAB search path.
When you install MathWorks® products on your computer, the installation includes a utility program that can speed up MATLAB® startup, called the MATLAB Startup Accelerator. By default, the installer configures this utility as a scheduled task on your computer that runs several times each day.
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Set Path. The Set Path dialog box appears. Alternatively, you can access this dialog box using the pathtool function. Use the Add Folder or Add Folder with Subfolders button to add new folders to MATLAB search path.
Create a startup.m script file containing the commands to set up the state that you want. Next, from inside MATLAB, run the command
>> userpath
This will give you a list of one or more user-specific directories (depending on what OS you are using); put your startup.m in any of those directories and it will be found whenever you start MATLAB (startup.m is also found if it is in the directory from which MATLAB is started, but the technique above allows you to start MATLAB from an arbitrary directory and still have startup.m get run).

Create a startup.m file in the directory that you launch matlab from.
