Hi, I'm trying to save a matlab figure simply by clicking 'File--Save as'. But, the moment I click 'File' in the image window the following error message appears:
"Warning: File: filemenufcn.m Line: 2 Column: 3 'FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF' exceeds the MATLAB maximum name length of 63 characters and will be truncated to 'FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFFF00FFF'. Error: File: filemenufcn.m Line: 2 Column: 3 Unexpected MATLAB expression.
Error while evaluating Menu Callback"
I tried "restoredefaultpath" and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong here? Please help. Thanks in advance.
P.S.: Saving using 'saveas' and 'savefig' works. But I need to edit the plot and save it.

I guess that you have destroyed the filemenufcn.m file. Open it in the editor to check this.
If this is the problem, avoid to work in Matlab with admin privileges. This causes troubles too often, because overwriting M-files by accident occurs more frequently than I would imagine. Another idea is to avoid opening toolbox functions in the editor, but using type funcname to display it in the command window instead. But working as admin has more problems also, so I'd prefer a standard user account.
