In the settings (Win + Alt + P), select 'Startup'. This allows you to select a single task using the third option, 'Specify named task'. You can use the other options to specify multiple tabs to open on startup.

You can also make a shortcut using the
/cmd
command line switch:Replace
PowerShell
with whatever you named your task. Here is a document listing all of the command line options. Note that if you run this while ConEmu is already running it will just open a new tab in the current window. This is usually the desired behavior but this behavior can be overridden using the-new_console
and-cur_console
switches (depending on your current setup).How to add task bar jump list items
If you are using Windows 7 or higher, you may also be interested in looking at using the jump list to select a task to startup. This can be done in the 'Main' -> 'Task bar' options page. Check the 'Add ConEmu tasks to Task bar' box and press 'Update Now!'.
