I am not able to set the custom folder startingDirectory to be opened by default.
Tried the following combinations:

        "startingDirectory" : "\\D:$\\custom\\folder",
        "startingDirectory" : "//d$/custom/folder",
        "startingDirectory" : "//d$//custom//folder",
        "startingDirectory" : "//D:$//custom//folder",
        "startingDirectory" : \\d$\\custom\\folder",
