How to do the same with console2 when using cmd as a shell?

Answer 1

From the command line help:

  -d <directory> Specifies a startup directory. If you want to parametrize startup dirs, you need to specify startup directory parameter as "%1"\ (backslash is outside of the double quotes) 

Answer 2

At 2.00b147 go to Edit -> Settings -> Console and enter the desired directory in the Startup dir field.
