That's the giveaway. (cd "h:/") will work, as will (setq default-
directory "h:/")

There are also various ways to make it easier to get to the files you
want, for example, speedbar-mode, savehist-mode, ido-mode (my
favourite). You could also open various directories on startup, or use
desktop-save-mode to save Emacs' state between sessions.
