Change ConEmu's default start directory

In addition to the answer by Bruno Pereira.

1) Another way - create new task with "cmd" in Commands (if not already created) and add following into "Gui args" field of task properties, and choose this task on startup page (radio "Specified named task")

/dir "FullPathToDir"

2) One more example - run shell like (Startup -> Command line)

cmd "-cur_console:d:C:\Users\Maks"

Just edit your startup shortcut adding the /Dir option as such:

ConEmu /Dir <path to desired directory>

Or on the shortcut properties change the Start in: path to something that fancies you

Open settings:

1. Startup/Tasks
2. Create new task
3. In the first box put a name, e.g. Console
4. In the third box copy this: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe -cur_console:d:D:/
5. Go to Startup and select the task from the "specified named task" menu.

Restart
