Windows – ConEmu select startup console

conemuwindows

How can you change the default startup console of ConEmu?

Currently, when I start ConEmu, it opens a single tab with the default Windows command prompt, but I would like ConEmu to start PowerShell instead, and perhaps an administrative PowerShell console.

There is Startup settings page where user can choose one of the named Tasks (many shells are predefined already) or choose particular startup command line.

And of course, user can define his own Tasks or reorder existing.

Remove single quotas around your command. ConEmu executes intact string (command) which follows /cmd switch, with only exception - all -new_console... and -cur_console... are removed from this string before starting console.

How to specify multiple startup tasks in Conemu

The idea of /cmdlist was giving to user ability of starting several commands without creating exact named task. Say, this is an extra "unnamed" task, nothing more. Actually, it was created for simplifying debugging process without need of task creation ;)

The task, by-turn, is a "script" where user can show what command (Tab or Pane) must become active after startup. If you run several tasks at once - what command of what task must become active? Incomprehensible... Also, there may be a risk of infinite recursive task calling.
