How to add functions to Right Click Menu (Context Menu) on Windows 7
I would like to create a shortcut for the
right click on a file (inside a folder) >send to> mail recipient> put the emails addresses > send
so instead of going through all 5 steps, is there a way I can add an entry in the context menu which does these steps automatically?
How can I do this? If is is possible I would like to have the email addresses automatically filled as well.

I am using Outlook 2013.
1. go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Window
2. create new shortcut with path
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EX
3. change email address in /m parameter for the one you need
4. name the shortcut as you want e.g. Mail_To_Eric
5. now you should be able to right click on the file and send to defined contact with selected file in the attachment from your MS Outlook

Thank Helpfinder,
What about if I need to put multiple email addresses?

Thanks again helpfinde. One final question. So when I right click , the message template opens on outlook with the file attached and the email addresses in place. How do I make the subject same as the attached file name?
this is not possible to achieve using switches for outlook.exe as I know.
Maybe some macro could do this in combination with shortcut I provided, but unfortunately I am not able to help you with this

Thank you very much.
Well, since you closed this while I was making you a step-by-step, I'll delete the correct way to do it (that command line switch stopped with Outlook 2003).
Good luck with your problem.

It can also be done by adding to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
key in the registry, but anytime you can do something by adding a shortcut instead of editing the registry, I would recommend making the shortcut instead.
