Is there a way with conEmu to by default open a number of different tabs?
I saw this page explaining how to do this with splits,
and I realize I can do Ctrl + T, 1, Enter, but I was hoping there was a way to do this automatically!
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -cur_console:t:"repo1":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo1"
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:t:"repo2":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo2"
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:t:"repo3":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo3"
Yes, it is possible but not via the settings Dialog of Conemu. You need a small config file
Create Config File
Go to Conemu installation directory (like C:\Program Files\ConEmu)
Create file startup.txt
List the consoles you want to open at startup. For example
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe
>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
will open Git Bash and cmd at startup (in that order). If you want to set the startup directories for each console you can do this too:
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path
>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe -new_console:d:C:\other\path
Start Conemu with that config file
Create a new desktop shortcut for the ConEmu64.exe (or ConEmu.exe if you use the 32-Bit version)
Right click > Properties on that shortcut.
Add /cmd #startup.txt to the target
Now you can link that shortcut to your task bar or put it in the autostart folder of your computer to start Conemu with those consoles right after login.
Update 1: Name for Tab
I just found out that you can also set the name of all the tabs on startup :-)
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path -cur_console:t:NAME_OF_TAB
Update 2: Admin Rights
And this is how you give admin rights to the tabs of your choice:
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path -new_console:a
Don't use this more than necessary, because you have to confirm admin rights for each window individually.

I don't know if that's possible.
I managed to have conemu open two tabs (with a custom name) on startup and cd inside the folders i needs, now my question is:
Is there any way to make conemu open two different tabs in two different windows and position them top-right-corner and bottom-right-corner?
The task i run on startup is the following:
title Website & cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" && cd c:\src\www
title Other& cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" && cd c:\src\other
Thanks
As always, read the documentation.
Use -new_console to open a separate window, play with tabs normally. Documentation.
If you’re lucky, the author of ConEmu will notice you and help you out better than I can.
I need to open 2 Edge windows from a batch file (not two tabs, 2 windows). I know I can launch edge using the following command:
start microsoft-edge:
But if I try it twice the second command does nothing. If I try it with URLs I get 2 tabs in the same window. e.g.
start microsoft-edge:http://google.com
start microsoft-edge:http://bing.com
Any ideas how to get 2 separate windows?
Use --new-window option:
start msedge http://google.com
start msedge --new-window http://bing.com
As you are aware, you can trigger Microsoft Edge indirectly from the command line (or a batch file) by using the microsoft-edge: protocol handler. Unfortunately, this approach doesn't enable you to open up an arbitrary number of windows.
The Microsoft Edge team built a small utility to assist, and presently hosts it on GitHub.
> MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe http://bing.com
> MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe http://stackoverflow.com
I just tested this, and it opened two individual windows for me. There does appear to be an issue where the second window doesn't navigate to the URL; remaining open with the New Tab Page.
You can open as many as you like, just create batch files that call other batch files.
Very easy to do.
Ex: batch1.cmd:
#echo off
start microsoft-edge:http://google.com
start "path\batch2.cmd"
exit
Make sure to add "start microsoft-edge:http://bing.com" on your "batch2.cmd" file

You can use the executable msedge_proxy.exe which is installed alongside msedge.exe. For example in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application".
Sample usage:
> msedge_proxy.exe --app=http://bing.com
If you execute that command multiple times, it pops a new window each time.
As i am new to JAVA programming, I used to compile and run classes using Command Prompt. But I am lazy to open and set paths every time in CMD. I found that can set the folder's path automatically using a batch file by placing it in the folder that i want to specify. But I dont know how to set the path of the jdk bin folder using bat file.
I just typed set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin but no hope.
So please can you guys tell me what is the code for do that. Thank you.
Assuming that
(1) You want to set path to JDK bin AND (2) the path must be available even after the batch file terminates.
In such a case, please consider setting it this way:

I need to pin an executable into the new Windows 10 start menu (i.e. creating a tile).
I'm aware of PowerShell scripts that do the job, but I need some instructions to add at the end of an existing batch file (cmd) we already use for installing our applications.
The usual scripts (valid for Windows 8 and 8.1) simply don't work. How can I do this?
This is a kludge work around that Microsoft needs to fix, but it worked for me.
Temporary rename the .bat file to .exe. Then right click on the file name. It will give you the Pin to start option. Pin it to the start menu. It won't work, but there is an option open the file location. Select that and change the name back to .bat. Now it works.
The way it works on Windows 10 after trying almost 15 different methods that didn't work for me
Go to your desktop -> right-click -> Create New Shortcut
In the shortcut target type the following text:
cmd /c "full path to your batch file"
It will look something like this:
cmd /c "C:\Users\Jmeter\Desktop\jmeter.bat"
Name the shortcut.
Right-click on the shortcut -> select Pin to taskbar. If you'd prefer it pinned to your Start menu, select Pin to start instead.
Bonus: Download some .png image -> Go here (https://icoconvert.com/) -> convert to Windows icon file -> set as new icon
Note: I've wrote and tested this on windows 8 - you might face issues on windows 10.
Check this. This a JScript/bat hybrid that uses the shellapplication object and invokeverb function (i.e. emulates right click and chooses some specific actions). It is now compatible with Windows 10.
Use it like this (you can use also a shortcut/.lnk to an exe):
call pinnerJS.bat "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe" startmenu
Follow my original method, and you will get .bat file{s} pinned in Taskbar. WORKS 100%
Step 1: Create shortcut of your .bat file (for example in Desktop “C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\yourfile.bat”). So you will end up with “yourfile.bat – Shortcut.lnk” (you might not see extension “.lnk”).
Step 2: Right Click your shortcut and change your Target field from: “C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\yourfile.bat” to: explorer “C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\yourfile.bat” – note: explorer is the explorer.exe app. You can also write the full Path: C:\Windows\explorer.exe, for no confusion.
Step 3: Now Right Click your shortcut and now you can see the option Pin to Taskbar.
Step 4: Right Click the pinned shortcut, and you will see two options: shortcut itself and unpin option. Right Click the shortcut and select Properties. From Target field delete “C:\Windows\explorer.exe” and leave only “C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\yourfile.bat”, and click OK
Now you can delete your shortcut in Desktop, since now you have your standalone shortcut on Taskbar
Optionaly, if you want to change Icon do Step 4, but now click “Change Icon…” button, and choose your custom Icon, from some other exe file or .ico file.
That’s it!
Now you have fully functional batch file shortcut on Taskbar
Right now, you can't do this with free tools (maybe Windows want to get into the "pay2tile" business model).
One possible option at the moment would be to use Classic Shell.
I have a very short PowerShell script that connects to a server and imports the AD module. I'd like to run the script simply by double clicking, but I'm afraid the window immediately closes after the last line.
How can I sort this out?
You basically have 3 options to prevent the PowerShell Console window from closing, that I describe in more detail on my blog post.
One-time Fix: Run your script from the PowerShell Console, or launch the PowerShell process using the -NoExit switch. e.g. PowerShell -NoExit "C:\SomeFolder\SomeScript.ps1"
Per-script Fix: Add a prompt for input to the end of your script file. e.g. Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to exit"
Global Fix: Change your registry key by adding the -NoExit switch to always leave the PowerShell Console window open after the script finishes running.
Registry Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\powershell.exe\shell\open\command
Description: Key used when you right-click a .ps1 file and choose Open With -> Windows PowerShell.
Default Value: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "%1"
Desired Value: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "& \"%1\""
Registry Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\Shell\0\Command
Description: Key used when you right-click a .ps1 file and choose Run with PowerShell (shows up depending on which Windows OS and Updates you have installed).
Default Value: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "-Command" "if((Get-ExecutionPolicy ) -ne 'AllSigned') { Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass }; & '%1'"
Desired Value: "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoExit "-Command" "if((Get-ExecutionPolicy ) -ne 'AllSigned') { Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass }; & \"%1\""
See my blog for more information and a script to download that will make the registry change for you.
Errr...
I should have known:
powershell -noexit <path\script>
and that's all there's to it :)
The solution below prevents the script from closing when running Powershell ISE and allows the script to close otherwise.
# If running in the console, wait for input before closing.
if ($Host.Name -eq "ConsoleHost")
{
Write-Host "Press any key to continue..."
$Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyUp") > $null
}
Just add pause on a new line at the bottom of the script, as in a batch file.
In my own case, I wanted to add powershell to context menu on windows 7. That is right clicking on a folder or inside a folder to get a menu to launch Powershell window without it closing after launch. The answers here helped me do just that and I want to share it here incase it helps someone else.
Launch registry editor by pressing WIN + R
type regedit.exe and hit enter
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
Right click on shell and create a key give it a name e.g PowershellHere
On the right pane, double click on Default and provide a descriptive name e.g Powershell Here
Right click on the PowershellHere key you created earlier and create a new key and name it "command" please make sure you name it exactly so but without the quotes.
On the right pane, double click on Default and then type the command below
C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -noexit -Command CD '"%1"'
-noexit flag makes sure that the Powershell windows does not close again immediately after launch
'"%1"' flag represents the folder you right clicked
-Command CD '"%1"' will ensure the Powershell changes into the right clicked directory.
To make the right click work inside a folder meaning right clicking an empty space inside a folder, repeat the steps but this time, the registry location is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
And the command is:
C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -noexit
Tested on windows 7 ultimate sp1 but I think I might work for later versions of Windows as well
You can add pause at the end of your script if you just want the window to stay open, or you can add powershell if you want to be able to run commands afterwards (obviously don't do the second option if anyone else will use your code).
