We're using Outlook 2003. If you go to the Shortcut pane and click "Create
Shortcut", it only allows you to link to other Outlook Folders (rather silly
if you ask me, since those links are already built in). He has a folder that
contains various kinds of files, Word, Excel, PDF, and htm mostly, that he
used to be able to link to in Outllook 2000. Now he wants to create a
similar folder for the new show because he's getting a lot of files he wants
to keep without using up all his mailbox space on the network, but Outlook
2003 will not let him do it. The last couple of years, he got round it by
simply keeping the messages with attachments in a separate folder, but he
keeps getting "mailbox full" messages from our system administrator, who's
been telling him to store these files somewhere besides the Outlook server.
