Is there a way to change the MatLab default settings to default DockControls to off?

Aside from typing out the dock controls, is there a way to change the default settings to "off" for DockControls?

set(UI.fig,'WindowStyle', 'normal','DockControls','off','WindowState','maximize','visible','on'), drawnow nocallbacks; %edited4.20

else

set(UI.fig,'visible','on')

drawnow nocallbacks; frame_h = get(UI.fig,'JavaFrame'); set(frame_h,'Maximized',1); drawnow nocallbacks;

end

From the documentation:

DockControls — Interactive figure docking

'on' (default) | 'off'

Interactive figure docking, specified as 'on' or 'off', or as numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of 'on' is equivalent to true, and 'off' is equivalent to false. Thus, you can use the value of this property as a logical value. The value is stored as an on/off logical value of type matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState.

• 'on' — Figure can be docked in the MATLAB® desktop. The Desktop > Dock Figure menu item and the Dock Figure button in the menu bar are enabled.
• 'off' — MATLAB disables the Desktop > Dock Figure menu item and does not display the figure dock button.You cannot set the DockControls property to 'off' if the WindowStyle is set to 'docked'.

Setting the DockControls property is not supported in MATLAB Online™.

I have read the documentation you are referencing but it doesn't offer a method by which to change the default, merely to change an occurance. Matlab 2018a defaults to "on". I can and have been changing the logical manually in functions but how can I change the default so that this is no necessary going forward? Is there a way to modify the default setting on my machine // within my MatLab liscence?

Maybe here:

or in the startup.m file.

Not an expert in MATLAB's internals, sorry.
