startup with dired

startup with dired

[Ryan Moszynski]

is there something I can put in my .emacs file to make emacs startup
in dired mode at a certain directory?

for instance, when i start emacs, i want it to automatically be in
dired mode at /home/ryan/code

thanks
ryan

(dired "/home/ryan/code") at the end of .emacs should do the trick.

(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(dired "/home/ryan/code")

Why not just pass the directory as an argument to `runemacs'?  For example:

  runemacs.exe  "/home/ryan/code"

This doesn't require that you change your .emacs.
