Subject: Emacs 22.3 ignores setq default-directory
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:47:30 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5cc316a8-1a47-4e0c-af2b-27675d5517f5@q3g2000pra.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hello,
I just installed Emacs 22.3 under Win XP using the precompiled
binary. Everything works, my _emacs is read and all customization
such as AuCTeX works fine.
the only thing that's being ignored is the line
(setq default-directory "h:")
which works fine in Emacs 22.1.
Any idea as to why and how I can define my home directory?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus
