By default, if I invoke emacs from terminal by typing $ emacs C:\users a directory-like environment opens. Then if I do M-x eshell, an eshell environment opens at this path.

Added: As an application of the below solution of abo-abo, on Microsoft OS, if at the path bar of your window directory, you type emacs -f eshell, an eshell will be opened at that directory:

    Call function, probably. It should be in emacs --help.
