I'm trying to add this as my default terminal: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k "C:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat" but how do I set the "/k "C:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat" part in terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows settings. It doesn't allow for nested quotation marks. I tried escaping the quotation marks, double quotes etc. Each option the command prompt states the path set is invalid.

go to File menu > Preferences > workspace settings. On right hand side, you will see settings.json. In this file add below line-

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe  /k \"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\nodevars.bat\""

thats it. now you can run npm install and npm start commands to run your angular2 application.

see if this helps.

I think \" does not work for cmd shell args but this works for me:

    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe",
    "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
        "/k",
        "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\VC\\Auxiliary\\Build\\vcvars64.bat",
        "&&start-ssh-agent"
    ],
