The majority of machines I manage use VNC, and it would be convenient to quickly open \\%hostname% with File Explorer

Hello,

It should be possible to accomplish this by creating a Tool session type based on a Windows Explorer template.

This KB article should help you regarding this

Thanks Jeff, this might be what I'm looking for!

However, the support document does not elaborate how to pass through a variable like $HOST$

I'm just trying to run "explorer.exe \\$HOST$" - can you elaborate how I can set this up? Thanks again!

And I can't find a way to add anything to this menu.. I have edited it under RDM settings, but do not see a way to add a custom tool/script to it:

Well apparently this is what I was looking for Open Share Folders: Open with Parameters (remotedesktopmanager.com)
