This doesn't work when the files are on a Windows Share (at least for me), though. I'm also interested in getting a robust connection between Org and Outlook so I will be paying attention to this thread with earnest.

I wonder how to create a set-up for maximum productivity and I'd like t= o

Creating hyperlinks in my org-mode files/tasks, which let me jump directly<= br> to E-Mail in MS Outlook (Exchange-based), open Word-, Excel- or Powerpoint<= br> documents, etc. is a very helpful feature for integrating org-mode.

Are there other techniques, tools or add-ons which are helpful for that

Kind regards
