Yeah, I keep running into the folder/directory gap myself, along with similar problems. It gets icky sometimes because my supervisor wonders why I'd rather talk with the technical hired help than with her ... .
The level of helplessness among people who supposedly use their office computers all day, every day is a constant source of pain. When we announce internal events, it's very easy to insert links to the homepages of the sponsoring offices, and I do so.
But then I get people wanting me to somehow put a link on the already-crowded agency homepage to their little sub-sub-offices, "Because people read the announcement and want to know more and then they can't find our homepage on the site."
"Um," sez I. "Isn't that what the link on your office name in the announcement is for?"
