How to specify the root directory for the server in NodeJS?

Question

Node.js

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
How can I specify for NodeJS the root directory that should open when the page is opened, for example, localhost:8080 ?
At my default address, the Windows system folder opens, although the server file is in a folder on the desktop. And I just need this folder, in which the file is located, to be the root.
I'm using the NodeJS server code from the AngularJS Learning archive from here - https://github.com/angular/angular-phonecat/blob/m...
