Description of the issue

Hi! I am just getting used to Cmder+ConEmu, and am liking it. Thanks for your hard work!

I have a laptop on which I

• first installed ConEmu standalone into c:\util\conemu
• later installed Cmder into c:\util\cmder (maybe I removed conemu first? I don't remember)
• later still, I removed all of that and re-installed Cmder, in a way I am happy with, into c:\tools\cmder

Well, that's mostly accurate. :)

The deal is, I think that when I "removed all of that" that I may have missed some items. My immediate problem is that my Powershell admin task has a value for Env:\CMDER_ROOT that points at a location in c:\util\cmder. This is not a big deal, but it keeps my Powershell profile from loading. I could fix that by editing the user-profile.ps1 that is inside c:\util\cmder but I'm concerned that I might be missing some other detritus from my previous installations.

The Env:\CMDER_ROOT variable is set correctly to c:\tools\cmder when I run a Powershell non-admin task.

All of that to ask this: I want to go over every source from which the Env:\CMDER_ROOT variable could be set. Can you give me that information?

I am using Windows 10 with the April 2018 update and Cmder 180206.

Cheers, Chris

I was able to find some references to the old installation in c:\util\cmder in the registry. After verifying that they were unnecessary since they were pointing at this directory that no longer exists, I deleted those entries, and all of my tasks function correctly now. Maybe this will help somebody else who has the same issue at some point.
