This no longer works with my 22.2 - it's ignored when I run the emacs. I had to set the running directory within my windows link to runemacs.exe. Now when I want to open a file with C-x C-f there's a correct default path in a minibuffer but with backslashes as directory separators. And that annoyes me. Though consequently tab completion switches the slashes to forward ones. Does default-directory work with 22.2? -- Radek
