No color scheme in tabs opened as Administrator

[gsbabil]

• Cmder version: 1.1.2 (mini)
• OS: Windows 8 64bit

Color scheme doesn't apply if Cmder is run as current user and a new tab is opened with Run as Administrator. The error message says - The system cannot find the path specified.

If Cmder.exe is originally run as administrator and then a new tab is opened within this session, everything works. But obviously a regular user session can not be opened anymore (everything runs as administrator).

Hi @gsbabil, does this still affect you on version 1.1.3?

[gsbabil]

@MartiUK Yes, I just tested and the issues is still here with version 1.1.3.

@gsbabil May be a Win 8 specific problem since it works just fine on Win 7 64bit, will look at it tonight.

I had this same problem on Windows 7 64bit. I've solved it by manually creating the "CMDER_ROOT" environment variable that points to where I put cmder ("C:\cmder")

[gsbabil]

@Woodham thanks a lot. I just tested it. CMDER_ROOT environmental variable solves the problem.

While the workaround is easy enough, it would be nice if Cmder handled this 'out of the box'.
I've just gotten this working by using paths relative to %ConEmuDir% in some places instead of CMDER_ROOT. I'll see if I can clean it up and submit a pull request.
