Unable to set starting folder when setHidden is set to true

What version of matlabcontrol are you using? 4.1.0
(Release versions: 4.1.0, 4.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.0, or 2.0.0)

What version of MATLAB are you using? 2010b

What operating system are you using? Windows XP

Are you using matlabcontrol from inside MATLAB or outside MATLAB? Outside

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.In the Builder, set setHidden to true and use setMatlabStartingDirectory to 
set a starting folder.

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? I expected a minimized 
command window opened in the starting folder I specified. However, the 
minimized command opened at the location where the Matlab executable was 
present. Hence, it was unable to execute a Matlab script present in the 
location specified by me as it never opened in that location. As a workaround, 
I manually pass a 'cd' command to the proxy to switch to the desired folder and 
then execute the script.
