No, because public folders can be a calendar folders, tasks, or contacts.
That means that you have to use the All Folders view to see PFs.

After furious head scratching, Cappy asked:

| We are getting ready to deploy Outlook 2003 to about 10,000 users. The
| powers that be do not want the users to have to click on the folder
| icon in order to see Public Folders (PF). They want them to be in
| their face when the software is first deployed.
|
| A new installation shows, on the left side of the window, Favorite
| Folders, All Mail Folders (which is the user's mailbox and folders
| that are on the Exchange server), large icons for Mail, Calendar,
| Contacts, and Tasks, small icons for Notes, Folder View, and
| Shortcuts. Then there's the little double arrow to configure all of
| the icons on the bottom...
|
| So, they want PF to show up at the same level as their mailbox in the
| All Mail Folders.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Thanks in advance,
