Whenever I start emacs I get the *scratch* buffer, is there a setting that I could add to my dotemacs file so emacs with start with the current directory files list buffer?
Thanks.

Add this to your .emacs:
(dired "/my/favorite/dir")
Or just add the directory to your startup command line. For example (MS Windows
and others):
C:\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe "C:\my\favorite\dir"
/emacs/bin/runemacs.exe "/my/favorite/dir"
