How to put a shortcut for new task/new appointment on quick launc

[cranmore]

Now that the office toolbar no longer exists, i am looking for ways to put
shortcuts for new message, new task, and new appointment on the Quick Launch
bar. I found a way to create a shortcut for a new message (you just create a
shortcut and the name of the file is "mailto:". But i cant find similar
names for a new appointment and a new task.

New task shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.task

New calendar item:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.appointment
