That doesn't look like a LISP function call.  Instead it looks like a
snippet from the customize section.  You know, that section that says
quite explicitly "don't edit or cut/paste it!" ;-).

For a LISP call you want 

 (cd "/mnt/win_d/docs")

Note that this is actually suggested when you do "C-h v
default-directory".


Hope this helps, benny
