Create a shortcut to a Public Folder in Outlook 2007
I have created a public contact folder for the whole organization. However; the boss does not want to travel all the way down to the public folders to find the Business Contact folder. How can I create a shortcut on the toolbar to open this folder.
Any hints or help are greatly appreciated.

Another quick way he can do is right-click the contact public folder and choose “add to favorites”. Then when he clicks the contacts icon on the bottom left in Outlook the public folder contacts will show there.
You can also right click the business contacts folder and select copy, then copy it to contacts folder
