Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I copy a directory path inside Windows it looks like this
C:\Users\garen\Desktop
but when I try to paste it inside BASH(Ubunut) through WT I am unable to cd to there because its invalid.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

However when I run bash through cmder namely ConEmu, it automatically converts
C:\Users\garen\Desktop to -> /mnt/c/Users/garen/Desktop
So I am able to cd there. (There is an toggle option for this feature in the ConEmu settings)
