No need to do anything like this! Simply we can add Cmder and it will open at our particular path from where we open it.!

You can go to Settings > Integration and set this in the command field (upper section).

{bash} -cur_console:n:d:"%V"
%V is used to pass the current directory you are in.

After that, you just need to hit the Register button in the upper section.

If you update to Windows 11 you will have to disable and enable it again. Also, it will not appear in the main context menu, but under the "Show more options" submenu due to the W11 new context menu design.

If you can use environment variables, it will be great. For example :

"%CMDER_ROOT%\\Cmder.exe"
