I'm new with this editor and this is the question: How can I change my
starter path in emacs??

Thanks everybody.

I assume you mean you want to set the path for emacs to launch other
programs.  Try this in your ~/.emacs:

(setenv "PATH" "...")

You probably want to add to the front of PATH, so you can do something
like

(setenv "PATH" (concat "/your/new/path" path-separator (getenv "PATH")))

Maybe put (cd "/the/directory/you/want/") in ~/.emacs.  You can also
use forward slashes (/) instead of backward slashes (\) on Windows.
By default, Emacs chooses the current directory when it was called.
