Hi,

I just made a shortcut to my network (NT Server) Outlook directory in
my local (XP Pro) doc/settings...When I open Outlook it creates an "Outlook"
directory even though there already exists a shortcut with the same name.
Why does Outlook do this, and how can I have two entries named "Outlook"
in one folder ?

About 2 items with same name.. one is actually different. Shortcuts actually
have an extension ".lnk", which is suppressed in graphics views such as
windwos explorer. Using a dos window and listing a directory would show this.
