Trying to add Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 to ConEmu

Question

I am trying to add the Developer Command Prompt For VS2015 to my ConEmu tasks so that I can start a shell from there. I know that I have to add a task under startup in the Settings, but I have no idea where to start or what to do.

I know that the command prompt shortcut is here:

..\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2015\Visual Studio Tools

and the shortcut points to:

..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat

You will need to create a new predefined task under the Startup-->Tasks menu in the ConEmu settings.

Click on the '+' button and call it whatever you like, in the screenshot below I called it VSCommandLine.

You will need to add the following commands in the command window:

* > cmd.exe /k ""%VS140COMNTOOLS%VsDevCmd.bat" & powershell" -new_console:d:C:\SourceCode\MyStartupDirectory
