Of course you can make Emacs start in any way
you want!

*In general*, do it like this:

1) Start Emacs the regular way

2) Set Emacs up the way you want, and remember
   the commands. Then put those commands in
   your init files, as Elisp code.

*Specifically*, find out what options to set.

Those two methods can be combined to do exactly
what you want.

For example, I have:

;; no fanfare / init
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal")
(setq byte-compile-verbose nil)

;; scratch buffer
(setq initial-scratch-message nil)
(kill-buffer "*scratch*")

;; starting point
(call-interactively #'w3m)
(cd "~/")

N.B. Change "incal", of course.
