Easy way:

  • Open a terminal as an Administrator.
  • Navigate to the directory you have placed Cmder.
  • Execute .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL

Yeah, this is easy and straightforward. Thanks, brother.

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"
