Default OL2007 and Outlook URL [ outlook:\\public%20folders\.. ]

I have ownership of a calendar in a Public Folder on our Exchange Server.

In the past, and for users through Outlook 2003, I could provide them with an Outlook URL
such as...
outlook:\\public%20folders\Our%20System\Region%20E ast\Billing%20Calendar

Then the user can click on the abouve URL and go straight to the Puublic Folder.

I could also create a XNK file by right-clicking on the Public Folder and drag and drop to
the Desktop and create a XNK shortcut.

That was until I gave Authorship, Editorship and Reviewer rights to personnel in another
state using Outlook 2007.
I sent those personnel an email that contained a URL such as...
outlook:\\public%20folders\Our%20System\Region%20E ast\Billing%20Calendar

I received an email reply indicating the Outlook URL failed.

I have ONE user in my office who has Outlook 2007 and and I tried to create a XNK file on
the Desktop and it did get created BUT, it wouldn't work. It acted like there was no
association of XNK to Outlook 2007.

I enabled the Web Toolbar and went to the desired Public Folder. It showed the path with
the Oulook URI; outlook:\\.. (albeit with spaces but this is the same as in; Outlook 2000,
Outlook XP and Outlook 2003)
As usual I would substitute '%20' for each space ' ' But, as reported, the URL failed to
work in Outlook 2007 as it has repeatedly worked in previous Outlook versions.

In short I want to send my Outlook 2007 users a URL in email such that...
1. They can create a shortcut on the desktop that will go straight to the Public Folder
2. They can Double-Click on the URL in the email body that will go straight to the
Public Folder

It seems to me that that this loss of capability is a step backward and is NOT an
improvement but a shear loss. Therefore there *MUST* be a way to do this in Outlook 2007.
