Using shortcuts in Outlook tasks

[Jonathan Finney]

I use Outlook 2003 tasks to remind me to do tasks at specific times
(radical, eh!?) and it would be useful to include shortcuts to the
applications/files used in the tasks.

Unfortunately, Outlook won't allow me to add the link for 'security'
reasons. The links are short cuts to local files and I'm not emailing them
to anybody, so what's the threat? This 'sledgehammer' approach to security
is very frustrating. Is there any way to allow the use of links in the body
of a task?
