  Hi Jean,
  
  I'm looking for a way to use Live Folders and then to do something with the selected file but other than open it.
  
  Similar to how the "Send to" option from right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer let you send it to different applications, USB stick, etc.
  
  I have a COM function working in Outlook to attach frequently used files but it is a lot of repetitive work to set up for each file.
  
  Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
  
  Thank you and best regards, Dale

  Coding something as specific as an Outlook attachement is out of the QAP scope. But if this can be done with a VBA or AutoHotkey script for a given file, we could see how QAP can help to apply this script to a file from the QAP menu (Live Folder or not).

  This is not what you asked but this game me this idea added to the wishlist: Add custom Alternative menu features.

  Hi Jean,
  
  I'm not looking for you to code very specific code. I'd just like there to be a way to pass a file, or perhaps the file handle / path to a function to be operated on by it.
  
  I gave the examples to try to give you an idea of what I'm thinking / would like to do.

  So we are on the same page. Do you think the item I added to the wishlist fills your need?

  I think we are Jean. Either the Alternative Menu or being able to right-click on files in a Live folder listing:

  It is technically not possible to right click in Windows menus. But you can set keyboard modifiers for any Alternative menu in "Options".
