 +It turns out there already is one by default, but it only shows if you //shift// right click. To make it always visible ([[https://winaero.com/blog/make-open-linux-shell-always-visible/|per here]]):
 +  * Download and run "[[https://winaero.com/blog/execti-run-programs-trustedinstaller/|ExecTI]]" to allow you to run regedit as TrustedInstaller (more privileges than admin)
 +  * Run regedit using the tool
 +  * In ''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\WSL'', delete the key ''Extended''

 +===== Run explorer from this directory in bash =====
 +I'm used to saying ''explorer .'' to open an explorer in this directory. For some reason, this doesn't work in WSL, even if I spell out the full path to explorer. However, [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44245721/launching-explorer-from-wsl|per this recipe]], you can add the following to ~/.bashrc to restore this functionality:
 +  alias explorer="cmd.exe /c start"
