How to code R-click "Send To / Open with" win7 (10)

Hi -1st post here - kindly relocate if appropriate - I couldn't decide which sub would best fit my query, so here I am in the 1st!

Currently on Windows 7 64 bit & Calibre 3.37,
though this will apply to my other pending w10 machines eventually --

I'm able to code a R-click functionality for non-integral Windows apps like "Bulk Rename Utility", "PlayTime", "HandBrake", "Media Player Classic", etc --

where the target file(s) open(s) in the target app --
but so far I haven't hit upon the correct coding to make that work with Calibre 3.37 --

Calibre app does open, but doesn't contain the selected title,
much less attempting a bulk opening using "Send To" such as in MPC-HC,
which will load multiple media files in a Playlist & begin playing 1 x 1.

I'm motivated to post here at this moment - but embarrassingly I don't
have a copy of the code I tried in the past -- it would have included the standard "%1" or some similar argument.

I'd greatly appreciate any help to solve this potential time-saver --
my work-around is to open Calibre then drag-drop bulk titles into it,
then of course Calibre does a phenomenal job converting to .pdf.

Thanks again
