Flint:

I created a shortcut to a document. The shortcut is on a shared network drive. I could not put that shortcut onto the start menu. I confirmed your report.

Then I enabled Make Available Offline (or words to that effect). I followed the wizard and it made a "Shortcut to Offline Files" on my desktop. Inside this newly created folder was a shortcut (offline style, whatever that is) mirroring the shortcut on my shared network drive. NOW I was able to place the original shortcut on my shared network drive on the start menu using the regular procedures. This ability remained even after I deleted the intervening shortcut created in the Offline Files folder on my desktop.
