example: I would like to create a shortcut called Incoming Folder, place it
in my desktop, then I click it and.. just open and show it in Outlook... (
yes, I'm kind of imaginative, but... =D )


Thank you very much!

Take a look at the /select command line option.

You can drag and drop a folder from Outlook onto your Desktop to create a
shortcut to this folder (xnk-file).
However, direct execution of xnk-files has been disabled for Outlook 2007.
To re-enable, see;

The method F.H. Muffman mentioned is a fully supported method albeit a bit
more cumbersome ;-)
