Assign task from Shared task view?

[Pete]

Hi
When I create a task from within Outlook I can "assign" the task ok. I can
also give others permissions to see my tasks ok. However my list of tasks are
in folder below the default task list. When I do this and I attempt to assign
a task I get a warning telling me that I will not receive notifications from
folders under the default which is a real pain so I thought I'd turn to using
a shared task list under my Exchange Public Folders....

However when ever I create a "shared" task in a public folder I cannot then
assign the task to someone. The "Assign Task" button does not appear in the
toolbar of the task. Is it possible to assign a shared task in some way or am
I doing something wrong?

I'm using Outlook 2007 in a Exchange Server 2003 environment. I can arrange
for Exchange admin changes if required.

Thanks

Only the default Task folder supports notification.

Tasks must remain in your default Tasks folder in order for assignment,
tracking, and notification to work, I believe.
