I have 2 desktops and want one desktop (desktop A) to maintain my address
book. Is it possible to create a shortcut or create a path for Outlook /
Outlook Epxress on the second machine to locate and open the address book on
desktop A via an icon or shortcut? I would appreciate any insight or creative
solutions on resolving my question. Many thanks!

The Outlook address book contains no data. Your contacts are maintained in
the Contacts folder, which is either in an Exchange mailbox (if you use
Exchange) or in a Personal Folders file (PST). WIth Exchange, charing is
easy. With a PST, there's more involved. See this:
