-Mintty as a terminal for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows / WSL.
+Mintty as a terminal for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
+
+<img align=right src=wsltty.png>
 
 ### Overview ###
 
-Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install
-* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s application folder (where WSL is also installed)
-* an empty wsltty “home directory” to enable storage of a mintty config file
-* Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts to start a WSL bash (with some variations, see below)
-* optional context menu entries for Windows Explorer to start a WSL bash in the respective folder
-* install/uninstall context menu items from Start Menu subfolder
-* `wsl*.bat` scripts to invoke wsltty manually (with some variations and invocation options, see below)
-* an uninstall script that can be invoked manually to remove shortcuts and context menu entries
+WSLtty components
+* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s local application folder 
+  `%LOCALAPPDATA%`
+* a wsltty configuration directory in the user’s application folder `%APPDATA%`
+  (“home”-located configuration files from a previously installed version 
+  will be migrated to the new default location)
+* Start Menu shortcuts to start WSL terminals
+* `*.bat` scripts to invoke WSL terminals from the command line
+* optional context menu entries for Windows Explorer to start WSL terminals in the respective folder
+* install/uninstall context menu items from Start Menu subfolder `WSLtty`
+
+### Installation ###
+
+#### WSLtty installer ####
+
+Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install 
+the components listed above.
+If Windows complains with a “Windows protected your PC” popup, 
+you may need to click “Run anyway” to proceed with the installation.
+You may need to open the Properties of the installer first, tab “General” 
+section “Security” (if available) and select “Unblock”, 
+to enable the “Run anyway” button.
+
+#### Installation from source repository ####
+
+Download or checkout the wsltty repository.
+Invoke `make`, then `make install`.
+Note this has to be done within a Cygwin environment.
+
+#### Installation to non-default locations ####
+
+(For experts)
+Within the installation process, provide parameters to the script `install.bat`.
+The optional first parameter designates the installation target,
+the optional second parameter designates the configuration directory.
+
+### Invocation ###
+
+WSLtty can be invoked with
+* installed Start Menu shortcuts (or Desktop shortcuts if copied there)
+* *.bat scripts
+* Explorer context menu (if installed from the Start Menu `WSLtty` subfolder)
+
+Starting the mintty terminal directly from the WSLtty installation location 
+is discouraged because that would bypass 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
-
-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.)
-
 #### 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` Terminal` to start in the WSL user home
+* `WSL Terminal` to start the default WSL distribution (as configured with the Windows tool `wslconfig`)
 
-To ensure a login bash to start in your Linux home directory, 
-add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile` on Linux side.
+In the Start Menu subfolder WSLtty, the following shortcuts are installed:
+* For each installed WSL distribution D, D` Terminal %` to start in the Windows %USERPROFILE% home
+* `WSL Terminal %` to start the default WSL distribution in the Windows %USERPROFILE% home
+
+One Desktop shortcut is installed:
+* `WSL Terminal` to start the default WSL distribution (as configured with the Windows tool `wslconfig`)
+
+Other, distribution-specific shortcuts can be copied to the desktop 
+from the Start Menu if desired.
+
+#### Command line scripts `wsl*.bat` ####
+
+WSLtty installs the following scripts into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps` 
+(and a copy in its application folder `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty`):
+
+* 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` and `WSL~.bat` to start the default WSL distribution
+
+Given that `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps` is in your PATH,
+the scripts can be invoked from cmd.exe, PowerShell, or via WIN+R.
+
+#### Context menu entries ####
+
+WSLtty provides context menu entries for all installed WSL distributions 
+and one for the configured default distribution,
+to start a respective WSL terminal in a specific folder from an Explorer window.
+They are not installed by default.
+To add launch entries for the default or all WSL distributions to the 
+Explorer context menu, or remove them, run the respective script from the 
+Start Menu subfolder `WSLtty`.
 
 #### Mintty settings ####
 
 Mintty can maintain its configuration file in various locations, 
 with the following precedence:
-* file given with mintty option `-c`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%\.minttyrc`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%\.config\mintty\config`
+* file given with mintty option `-c` (not used by wsltty default installation)
+* file `config` in directory given with mintty option `--configdir`
+  * This is `%APPDATA%\wsltty\config` in the default wsltty installation.
+* `%HOME%\.minttyrc` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
+* `%HOME%\.config\mintty\config` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
 * `%APPDATA%\mintty\config`
-* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\etc\minttyrc`
+* `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\etc\minttyrc` (usage deprecated with wsltty)
 
-Note that the `%APPDATA%\mintty\config` option provides the possibility 
-to maintain common mintty settings for various installations (like 
-wsltty, Cygwin, MinGW/msys, Git for Windows, MinEd for Windows).
+Note:
+* `%APPDATA%\wsltty\config` is the new user configuration file location. 
+  Further subdirectories of `%APPDATA%\wsltty` are used for language, 
+  themes, and sounds resource configuration. 
+  Note the distinction from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` which is the default 
+  wsltty software installation location.
+* The `%APPDATA%\mintty\config` option provides the possibility to 
+  maintain common mintty settings for various installations (like 
+  wsltty, Cygwin, MinGW/msys, Git for Windows, MinEd for Windows).
+* (About deprecated options) By default, `%HOME%` would refer to the 
+  root directory of the cygwin standalone installation hosting wsltty. 
+  So `%HOME%` would mean `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\home\%USERNAME%`.
+  If you define `HOME` at Windows level, this changes accordingly.
+  Note, however, that the WSL `HOME` is a completely different setting.
 
 #### Shell selection ####
 
-To invoke your favourite shell, simply replace `/bin/bash` with its pathname 
-in the Desktop shortcuts, `wsl*.bat` invocation scripts, 
-or Explorer context menu commands (configured in `config-context-menu.bat`).
+The WSLtty deployment does not impose a shell preference anymore.
+However, the intermediate gateways (`wslbridge` and its backend and the `bash.exe` Windows launcher) 
+are also involved. To invoke your favourite shell, you may append 
+a shell pathname to the mintty invocation (in shortcuts, scripts, or context menu entries), 
+or handle shell replacement within the WSL startup scripts (esp. `.profile`).

 including a [Hints and Tips page](https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki/Tips).
 
 It is based on [Cygwin](http://cygwin.com) 
 and includes its runtime library ([sources](http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cygwin/x86/release/cygwin)).
 
 For interacting with WSL, it uses [wslbridge](https://github.com/rprichard/wslbridge).
