Windows Terminal Context Menu - How To Setup

When I heard about The new Windows Terminal I was mind Blown because of how beautiful it is to customize your own terminal window.

Terminals are one tool most programmers use to automatically generate something or build something. So having this kind of terminal is awesome.

After Downloading the terminal there is something missing. And that is opening the Windows Terminal in the context menu.
