The easiest way is to use the following template:

http://[server]/[site]/[ListName]/[Folder]/[SubFolder]

To place a shortcut for a document library:

  • Download it as a * .url file. However, by default this file type is not allowed.
  • Go to document library settings> Advanced Settings> Allow Content Type Management. Add the document link content type to the document library and paste the link

I could not change the permissions on the sharepoint that I use, but got it by uploading .url files by dragging and dropping multiple files.

Using regular downloads did not work because they were set by the file open dialog box when trying to open them separately, so it just tries to open the target, not the .url file.

.url files can be made by saving favorites using an Internet exploiter.
