Windows 7: Attaching files from Skydrive

Maybe I've never done this before, so maybe the program is working as intended. Anyway-

I open either Yahoo Mail or Hotmail. I wanna send an email, and the attachment is inside a Skydrive folder. If I go to my email attachments and then double click on the Skydrive icon once I've navigated to it, shouldn't I be able to open the folder? Both email clients want to attach the whole folder.
?

i just tried as a test,
once you click attachment( in hotmail) on the favourites list in the explorer window that opens ,



i clicked on the skydrive folder and it opened showing the attachments, i selected and attached no problem,

try it that way

well, I am using desktop, not mobile.

hold on, i am stupid.
I was clicking on the desktop icon, not the list of folders in explorer.
sorry, it's the day after a holiday. must reboot brain.

reeboot it twice , i never said i was using a mobile
