try creating a shortcut using outlook /select filepath format. Get the file
path to the folder by selecting the folder and looking in the Advanced
toolbar's web tool.

it you want to open the address book, not the public folder, I don't know of
a way to do but you can set the PF as the first one shown when it opens.
