OL2007/Exchange:

I have found how to set a particular outlook folder to display a
website by seleting the home page tab under properties. Is there a
way to have this display the contents of a windows file folder instead
of an html file? I have tried something like c:\my documents, and
even file:\\c:\my documents, but this does not seem to work.

I've thought of perhaps making an html file with links to the contents
of the folder and displaying that html file. Looks pretty easy, but
if we add new files, etc., then the html file does not get
automatically updated.

I know this is a strange request - I am trying to set up a kind of
intranet using outlook public folders.

Thanks in advance!

No. Older versions of Outlook supported it but administrators didn't want
users browsing the drives - they could lock down explorer but not outlook.
