    My shared folders are visible and I can double click on a .txt file, edit it and save. However, I've configured Outlook 2003 to store it's data file (outlook.ost) on \\PSF\My Stuff\outlook.ost doesn't work.

    When I started Outlook the first 2 times, it complained that it couldn't access the file.

    As I'm typing this note up, I tried again, and it found the file, then crashed. I then successfully loaded it, but it then complained that it couldn't save any data.

    Overall, the Shared Folders are, for me, the most unstable and poor performing part of product. I hope they can be improved prior to release!
