Why do you think so? One use case where this could get in the way is if the user uses the Desktop library to recreate their sessions, and has different .emacs.desktop files in several directories; then starting Emacs from one of those directories will recreate the particular session pertinent for that directory (think or a project and its top-level directory, for example). > I add a paragraph to do so even with emacs -Q. > > --- efaq-w32.texi 2017-04-15 07:41:13.130868400 +0900 > +++ efaq-w32-b.texi 2017-04-15 13:29:42.148704100 +0900 > @@ -320,6 +320,10 @@ > @file{addpm.exe}, which is usually installed into the same @file{bin} > directory with @file{emacs.exe}. > > +You can change directory to start with by @kbd{C-x C-f}.

Once again, this is described in the Emacs User Manual, so any clarifications and additions should go there. In general, we should make most of the information be available in the manuals, rather than in the FAQ. The FAQ is much less organized than a manual, because the FAQ is generally a collection of mostly unrelated howto's and tricks, whereas the manual has a more defined structure and organization, so it's easier to search and is likely to have related info near the one you find. Thanks.
