I'm a new user of emacs on Windows, although I have some experience on Linux
OS versions. When I open an emacs session and select 'File' -> 'Open file'
, my directory tree starts looking in 'c:\emacs\bin\' when I would prefer
that it start looking in my 'c:\home' directory.
I found the variable 'insert-default-directory', but this just seems to be a
toggle switch, and does not allow me to input the name of a new default
directory. I'm aware that I can simply 'cd' in to my working directory each
time I open an emacs session, but I'd like my sessions to automatically 'cd'
to my working directory on startup. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks for your assistance.
