The behaviour you are seeing, comes from a BufReadPost autocommand, that
restores the last cursor position. It's defined in the help below
:h last-position-jump

This is where the auto command is defined. If you do not want it, you
can delete this after sourcing the defauls.vim file:
:augroup vimStartup | au! | augroup END
