Shortcut from one ProjectWise folder to another?

Question

Hello, 
 Is it possible to create a shortcut in PWE that links to another PWE folder/file? 
 For Example: Say I have important files in various PW folders and I would like to make a folder called "Important Files" and create links to all those folders. 
 Thanks, 
 Tom F.

Yes. Create a new application that opens files with the .lnk (ell-nk) with Explorer. Then drag the folder you want to make a shortcut to onto your desktop. That creates an .lnk file. Drag that .lnk file back into projectwise in your Important Files folder. It's not perfect: if you don't make the files read-only they'll checkout to people. If you make files read-only (or set final status) then users get an annoying popup about the file opening read-only. Click OK to jump to the folder anyway.

Luc, 
 Thank you for reference ! Recall seeing a number of other conversations on the Custom Folders topic inside PW, yet never put my finger on specific details. Appears this "clearly" spells it out, so definitely appreciate your time to provide !!
