folder emacs/bin.

How to customize this folder?

Usually GNU Emacs tries to open a file from your "current working" 
directory. This can be the file's directory that is already loaded into 
that buffer, the real current working directory in the shell buffer ... 
After launch it's either $HOME or the directory out of which you 
launched Emacs from a shell.

You seem to come from MS Windows. Could be it's worth setting $HOME, or 
%HOME. I remember that for me it always started with C:.

On windows set an environment variable called HOME="c:/path-to-folder"
and this will be the folder opened when ~/is entered in the C-x C-f
string(if the string already has a path enter ~/ and pressing tab
replaces that path with ~/)
