The colors, display and representation is simple - just put the
following commands into your configuration file (~/.vmdrc in any Unix
system, no idea how it's called in Windows). However, I'm not sure about
the "cd" command and what it would do in Windows. Just try it.

# colors
color Display FPS 16
color Display Background 8
color Axes Labels 16
# orthographic display
display projection orthographic
# default rep
mol rep vdw
# change to the "Home" Directory
cd /the/dir/you/want/to/use
Best regards
Olaf
