Just pass a directory to Emacs when you start it. E.g.:
/your/path/to/runemacs.exe "/your/directory/to/start/in"
That will start Emacs with Dired in /your/directory/to/start/in/
(Wrt what you tried: yes `dired' requires the target directory as
argument. So you would need (dired "/your/directory/to/start/in").
