How to select menu item after right clicking on a file?

Hi,

I have been able to build out a process that enables me to select the appropriate file I need to work with, within a folder, right click (using Shift + F10); however, I need to select a specific option from this menu and I cannot get the programming to work. I have attempted the Click UI element in Window, but it never selects the item. Below is a screenshot of what I need to select.

This is sitting in a folder labeled Test on my desktop and the option I'm trying to select is Sign and encrypt. Anyone have any ideas?

Instead of right clicking on it, left click on it.
Then use Send Keys {LShiftKey}({F10})

Shift + F10 is the same as a right click, but it also brings up these underlines:
Now you can use Send Keys to use the underlines. For example, if I wanted to copy:

Wait 1
Send Keys c

Hopefully your Sign & Encrypt option will have an underline you can use.

Good luck.

We discovered that the issue we were having was isolated to us using LogMeIn to execute these actions. For some reason PAD and LogMeIn don't work the same as RDP.

Once we discovered this, we were able to select the appropriate menu option using the available select from menu function within PAD.
