Want to quickly direct someone to a specific document on a shared drive?  In Outlook, you can insert a link that takes someone to that exact file. When you're writing a new email message in Outlook, click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu, then click on "Link". In the window that opens up, type in the location in the shared drive you would like to link to.  This is inserted into the body of the email.  When the recipient clicks the link, they are taken directly to their file.
