This technique works well with XP and Office 2003. It makes a shortcut in my network places. In Office if you do a file | open you can navigate to my network places and get to the share. With Vista and Office 2007 it makes a shortcut in "Computer". However, in Office 2007, if you open "Computer" it doesn't show the shortcut. I'm not sure if it is Vista or Office 2007 that is the problem. Is there something that can be done to make this shortcut visible in Office applications? Thanks for your help.
