Create a shortcut to a network folder on the desktop?

Asked by Durbanpoison in Leopard (MAC OS 10.5), Mac OS X

Well, question says it all really, got a MAC in the office (yuch!) and have configured Windows server to share to MAC's.

I can access and connect to the folders on the server using Finder but I'll be damned if I can create a shortcut on the desktop.

Am I right in guessing that I would have to mount it in some way, much like a network drive and then create a shortcut to the drive. This would also allow users to save back to the folder?
