Adding a shortcut to the Shortcuts navigation pane (which can by done by creating a shortcut on the desktop and dragging it in) will not make it any easier to save Outlook items to system folders. You may want to keep a Windows Explorer window open to the folder you want to save Outlook items in, so you can drag them there.

The prior version of outlook allowed me to add shortcuts to folders saved on
the system to the outlook bar. Is there a way to do it in 2003? My email
box is limited in size by the workcenter, therefore I need to be able to save
my information somewhere else.
