Subject: default directory for windows
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 06:48:31 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9bf9bf15-3c7e-4d00-9c25-7a367ee8742b@s13g2000prd.googlegroups.com> (raw)

One of the (many) problems I have using emacs under windows is that ti
starts off with the pwd being in the directory where emacs is
installed rather than my home.

So my .emacs has (cd "~") to get around this

But I imagine this is not the proper way to correcting the problem. Is
there not some 'pre-variable' from which default-directory is set?
