How do I make conemu open bat files on double click?

Question

I have a home-server where I run a Development minecraft server, and have moved to conemu as a CMD replacement, Exept each time I want to start the server I need to CD to the DIR & run the start.bat. Is there a way I could create a shortcut to just double click to start the start.bat in conemu?

"cmd /?" is very helpful. /k switch? – Maximus Aug 20 '14 at 14:28 — Maximus, Aug 20 '14 at 14:28
Run your batch with "/k" switch. – Maximus Aug 22 '14 at 15:48 — Maximus, Aug 22 '14 at 15:48

Command line for the shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Far Manager\ConEmu.exe" /cmd "\path\to\start.bat"

Or you could associate opening any batch file with ConEmu by modifying Windows registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Far Manager\\ConEmu.exe\" /cmd \"%1\" %*"

Modify ConEmu paths to match your install location.

`"C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu64.exe" "%1"` worked in my case – knightofni May 01 '15 at 03:44
@knightofni but why do things the simple way? – ycomp Jan 20 '19 at 13:38
fails to keep the terminal open with: `ConEmuC: Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=0. Press Enter or Esc to close console...` – nmz787 Oct 27 '21 at 21:14

Strange but I post similar question! No need updating registry, one of members posted an easier way:

Running bat file easier way

We simply need selecting:

More up to date version (for 64 bit OS) with flag to reuse the existing ConEmu instance and open a new tab:

"C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu64.exe" "-Reuse" "/cmd" "%1 %*"

Shouldn't last argument be outside the doublequotes? like this "C:\Program Files\ConEmuPack\ConEmu64.exe" "-Reuse" "/cmd" "%1" %* The default was "%1" %* – qwebek Feb 15 '16 at 15:12
