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").
