Modify Windows Explorer Shortcuts
I'm trying to modify Windows Explorer by adding a shortcut to a specific folder.
By Default when your trying to insert an attachment in outlook they take you to Windows Explorer with the following folders to the left: Desktop, My Documents, My Recent Documents, My Computer and My Network Places.
I would like to add direct shortcuts to the above mentioned 5 shortcuts already in there. They would be shortcuts to folders on a share drive. How would I do this?

You can have Explorer launch from a different folder than the C: drive. Right-click on your brand-new Explorer shortcut, select Properties, and open the Shortcut tab. Edit the entry in the Target field to read: C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /E, <DRIVE:\PATH\FOLDER> where <DRIVE:\PATH\FOLDER> is whichever folder you want to see first when Explorer launches
In Outlook 2007, if you navigate to the folder you want the shortcut for ( Within the attach files dialog ) and then right click on an empty area under the shortcut list ( On the left ) there is an option to add the folder your in as a shortcut ( to the predefined list )
I believe this is what your looking for, actually adding a shortcut to the predefined list on the left, not sure if this works on Outlook 2003, I'll check that tomorrow from work.
