title: Where is the executable file of Kali Linux on Windows?
body: <p>I would like to add a shortcut in Windows10 using DisplayFusion to<br />
  launch WSL Kali Linux and directly open the file manager <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_%28file_manager%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ranger</a>.</p>

  <p><strong>Example:</strong> This works quite well for launching a new firefox tab:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Function Name: <em>Launch_Firefox</em></li>
  <li>Key Combination: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd></li>
  <li>Application: <code>C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe</code></li>
  <li>Application Parameters: <code>-new-tab &quot;https://www.google.com&quot;</code></li>
  </ul>
  <p>KaliLinux launcher:<br />

  <p>Unfortunately I cant figure out where the executable for Kali Linux is stored.<br />
  I know that the Windows-App-Store storage-location of the WSL is<br />
  <code>C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Packages\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_ey8k8hqnwqnmg\</code><br />
  Neither in this path nor in any subdirectory is an executable to find.<br />
  Google only shows me results for where the Linux root directory of the WSL is located:<br />
  <code>C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Packages\KaliLinux.54290C8133FEE_ey8k8hqnwqnmg\LocalState\rootfs</code></p>
  <p><strong>Q:</strong> Where ist the executable of the WSL (<strong>W</strong>indows <strong>S</strong>ubsystem for <strong>L</strong>inux) of Kali located?</p>
