My office is small and we are running Outlook and Office basic. We used a
shared calendar. I am tasked with making sure that everyone gets to where
they need to be. However I am unable to set up reminders on my computer for
shared calendar events. "The error states "The reminder for " yadi yada"
will not appear because the item is in a folder that doesn't support
reminders"

I have looked in the preferences of the root folder and there does not seem
to be a way of changing it.

If some one knows please help. I had to get a third party freeware to do
this job. Sad, very sad.

Non-default folders cannot generate reminders. You need a third-party tool
for that. See
http://www.slovaktech.com/remindermanager.htm for one such.
