Does any of you outlook 2003 gurus out there know what ever happened to
the computer/network browsing capability in Outlook 2003? In the previous
Outlook version, you could browse within Outlook your computer drives and
mapped network drives. I couldn't find it anywhere in Outlook 2003. Is
this feature disabled by default and hidden somewhere?

your help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

This feature has been dropped indeed. You can still create shortcuts to
folder in the Shortcuts Navigation. Simply drag and drop a folder into it to
create a shortcut for it. When you press it a new window will open. You can
also still drag & drop items from Outlook into an Explorer window.

location to access these items.

That really sucks... Here is my situation. I am using Citrix to publish
an Outlook application. And in the Past, I can just put different program
short cut with in the Outlook side bar, then everything will be fine. but
with Outlook 2003, I can't do this any more. The "My computer" icon from
the "web" toolbar will bring the whole desktop over in Citrix scenario.
Can't believe they dropped this feature.
