Shared Public Calendar Added To Mailbox List

[Shoemaker]

Is there any way to add a shared public calendar to the normal mailbox list
on the left? (i.e. added to the main list with calendar, contacts, deleted
items, drafts, inbox, etc.) We are trying to make it more user friendly so
that users don't have to go to the public folders, then all public folders,
then the calendar. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Show users how to add it to Public Folders\Favorites. Then it will appear in the Calendar navigation pane.

Is there any type of policy that can be written so that the public calendars
will be automatically added to every users favorites, or would I need to do
it user by user?

It can't be done with a policy, but it can be done with an Outlook automation script that uses the MAPIFolder.AddToPFFavorites method.

I have never worked with the MAPIFolder.AddToPFFavorites method, is there a
reference out there that I can use as a guideline?

When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.

The same Help articles are also available on MSDN.
