-* 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

+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 or remove context menu entries, run the respective script from the 
+Start Menu subfolder `WSLtty`.
 
 #### Mintty settings ####
 
@@ -101,19 +118,22 @@ Note:
 
 #### 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`).

 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).
