ShellExecute $operation => $file; How to find the list of available $operations ? The doc says: "$operation : specifies the action to perform. The set of available operations depends on the file type. Generally, the actions available from an object's shortcut menu are available verbs." "object's shortcut menu" ? Could you elaborate please :-) ?
