This bash feature only on Windows 10 Anniversary. If you haven't updated yet, go update your Windows 10 first.

After that, activate the bash on
Control Panel -> Program -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Windows Subsystem for Linux

If you already did that, Windows need to restart your computer to install the bash for you.
Login to your desktop and create these 2 files.

bash_contextMenu-Enable.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\bash]
@="Bash here"
"Icon"="%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\lxss\\bash.ico,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\bash\command]
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\bash.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bash]
@="Bash here"
"Icon"="%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\lxss\\bash.ico,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bash\command]
@="cmd.exe /c pushd \"%V\" && c:\\windows\\system32\\bash.exe"
bash_contextMenu-Disable.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\bash]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\bash]

And then, double click to bash_contextMenu-Enable.reg to add bash to context menu.
If you wanna remove that from the context menu just double click on bash_contextMenu-Disable.reg

Now go try to Right Click on your Desktop you will see Bash here
