Access your Linux files from File Explorer (Build 19603)

Windows users with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) installed, already had the ability to access their Linux files. With Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19603, it has been much more easier.
Build 19603 now exposes a "Linux" node in File Explorer so that you can access your installed WSL distros file system.
Now there's File Explorer integration in the WSL. Now you can access Linux files from your left-hand navigation pan in File Explorer. One can see the Linux Tux icon in the File Explorer.

Selecting the Linux icon will provide a view of all your distros and selecting those will place you in the Linux root file system for that distro.
