To hyperlink a folder path in Outlook, select the text for your link in the message body, choose 'Hyperlink' from the context menu, and enter the full folder path in the 'Address:' field before clicking 'OK'.

15. In the 'Address:' field, type the file path you want to link to. Make sure to use the full path (e.g., C:\FolderPath\Subfolder).
