Original✔️Accepted Answer
this happens when cmder is installed in C:\Program Files\Cmder to write to this path the system needs admin rights. i solved the problem by moving the config folder to a user writeable folder like C:\Users\username\cmder\config and symlinked it into the C:\Program Files\Cmder.
an alternative solution would be installing cmder in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\cmder programs like slack or scoop are doing this.
Other Answers:
I just did "Shortcut to open Cmder in a chosen folder" code
But when I tried it in my htdocs folder I got the same error in an dialog window (failed to backup conemu.xml file to ./config folder).
After that I could not run it from the file itself. But when I right clicked (cmder.exe) and opened the settings window, ticked run as administrator it works and it works in folders too.
This post was much to explain for people who don't know what to do.
