+is discouraged because that would bypass some essential options.
 
 ### Configuration ###
 
 #### Command line scripts `wsl*.bat` ####
 
-WSLtty installs the following scripts in its application folder `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty`:
-* `wsl.bat` to start a WSL bash in the current folder/directory
-* `wsl~.bat` to start a WSL bash in the WSL user home
-* `wsl-l.bat` to start a WSL login bash
+WSLtty installs the following scripts into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps` 
+(and a copy in its application folder `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty`):
 
-To enable invocation of these scripts from WIN+R or from cmd.exe, 
-copy them from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` into `%SYSTEMROOT%\System32`, 
-renaming them as desired.
-(The package does not do this to avoid trouble with missing admin privileges.)
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D`.bat` to start in the current folder/directory
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D`~.bat` to start in the WSL user home
+* `wsl.bat` to start the default WSL installation in the current folder/directory
+* `wsl~.bat` to start the default WSL installation in the WSL user home
+* `wsl-l.bat` to start the default WSL installation with a login shell
+
+Given that `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps` is in your PATH,
+the scripts can be invoked from cmd.exe, PowerShell, or via WIN+R.
 
 #### Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts ####
 
-The Start Menu subfolder WSLtty offers three shortcuts:
-* `WSL Bash % in Mintty` to start a WSL bash in the Windows %USERPROFILE% home
-* `WSL Bash ~ in Mintty` to start a WSL bash in the WSL user home
-* `WSL Bash -l in Mintty` to start a WSL login bash
+In the Start Menu, the following shortcuts are installed:
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D` in Mintty` to start in the WSL user home
 
-To ensure a login bash to start in your Linux home directory, 
+In the Start Menu subfolder WSLtty, the following shortcuts are installed:
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D` in Mintty` to start in the Windows %USERPROFILE% home
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D` ~ in Mintty` to start in the WSL user home
+* `WSL % in Mintty` to start the default WSL installation in the Windows %USERPROFILE% home
+* `WSL ~ in Mintty` to start the default WSL installation in the WSL user home
+* `WSL -l in Mintty` to start the default WSL installation with a login shell
+
+WSLtty does not install Desktop shortcuts. If you want them, copy the 
+desired ones from the Start Menu subfolder `WSLtty`.
+
+To ensure a login shell to start in your Linux home directory, 
 add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile` on Linux side.
 
+#### Context menu entries ####
+
+WSLtty provides context menu entries for all installed WSL distributions,
+to start a respective WSL shell in a specific folder from an Explorer window. 
+They are not installed by default.
+To add or remove context menu entries, run the respective script from the 
+Start Menu subfolder `WSLtty`.
