I don't know about NERDtree; but if you disable netrw, Vim will give you an error instead when you try to open a directory: the main purpose of the netrw plugin is to allow Vim to display the contents of a directory when you "edit" it. Now if you just want to open an empty window with the _local directory_ set to a certain directory, that's a different (and easy) question: :new | lcd /foo/bar/baz or, to save some keystrokes, put :cabbrev <expr> CD ((getcmdtype() == ':' && getcmdpos() <= 3)? 'new <Bar> lcd' : 'CD') in your vimrc then use :CD /foo/bar/baz to open an empty window and make /foo/bar/baz the current directory.
