import os
os.chdir('DIR_PATH')

This will change the current working directory to whatever string you put in DIR_PATH. To see what the current working directory is use:

os.getcwd()

thanks for you answer molesupermole.

i was using something similar. but i still think of this initial setup as a bother. maybe there is a command line argument to change the current dir?

You can put that code in Preferences -> Shell -> execute code on startup

You can also start dreampie from the working directory you're working at - something like:
c:\dir> "\program files\dreampie\dreampie.exe"

Or if you add \program files\dreampie to your %path% variable, that would be just
c:\dir> dreampie

Can you help with this problem?
