Hi! I just created a project from opening your Windows Files, from Windows Explorer, with a context menu action. The project is hosted at [Github](https://github.com/developerbedoya/OpenWithWSL). Basically, you first need to install WSL and your preferred distro, compile the .NET 6.0 project from Windows and execute it the first time using the `--register` flag:

```cmd
OpenWithWSL.exe --register
```

And you can now left-click in any file and open it with WSL:
