You can customize Stata setting with profile.do. You can set different directories for ado files; use the command sysdir set. You can also set memory.

On Windows, put your profile.do in the folder specified in the properties of the Stata shortcut on the line "Start in" . If you change the "Start in" folder to "My Documents", Stata will execute profile.do file in that folder.

On Linux, put the profile.do in your "home" directory.

To organize Stata results into publishable tables, we can use a convenient command named outreg, which takes the results of the most recent regression and outputs it into a tab delimited text file. Outreg is available after any estimation command: logit, probit, regress, etc.

At the stata command line enter:
ssc install outreg

To install this add-in over the network.
