[Zope-CMF] How do I add common folders to Desktop of every user?

[seb bacon]

The list of objects on the desktop is a filtered view on its
subobjects.  There's no 'symlink' type product I'm aware of for Zope,
so you won't be able to fool folder_contents into thinking it contains
your folders in the portal root.

If your folders have known names, you could just write a hard link to
them in folder_contents.  They'll be acquired anyway, so you could
just go for a relative link.  It's worth a try, anyway.
