#### Command line script wsl.bat ####
* To enable invocation of this script from WIN+R or from cmd.exe,
copy it from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` into `%SYSTEMROOT%\System32`.
(The package does not do this to avoid trouble with missing admin privileges.)
* To start the terminal in the current directory when calling the script from the command line,
modify it (or a copy for this purpose) and remove the final `-l` parameter.
* To enforce starting in your Linux home directory, do *either* of:
* On Linux side, add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile`.
* In the script (or a copy for this purpose), add `-C~` as first parameter of `wslbridge`: `... /bin/wslbridge -C~ -t /bin/bash -l`.
#### Desktop shortcut and Start menu shortcut ####
To enforce starting in your Linux home directory, do *either* of:
