WinShortcutter Help

[JF10]

Hello all

I would like some advice on getting WinShortcutter configured.

 

Winshortcutter for those that are not aware of it

 

Installed the latest version from their website and browsing and navigating through windows .lnk shortcuts is working great.

 

I am running OS X Yosemite, Microsoft Office Outlook 2011.

 

When I am sent hyperlink from my Windows collegues via Email on Outlook I get The file ///server/Share$/Folder" could not be found. (please note I am aware there is a 3rd backslash, this is automatically inserted when clicking on Windows hyperlinks)

 

So I want to get WinShortcutter to open these links, which, from reading, I assume can be done.

 

I have configured the "Open as Windows Link" in services. My settings for this are as follows:

 

When I open the email hyperlink as "Windows Link" I get an error from Outlook telling me that WinShortcutter can't find this mapping.

 

Essentially what I am looking for is if anyone has any ideas how I can get my T: (Windows Network Share that hypothetically is on \\server\share$) opening through hyperlinks in Outlook for Mac. I can right click the link and "Open as Window Link" but it doesn't appear to be mapping its way back to WinShortcutter.

 

Thank you
