I could (and I may have no other choice) than to build a static webpage on the server to link stuff up. I was hoping to avoid adding anything unnecessary to the server though.
Meh.

You could just have the page local on your machine. A simple HTML file you store on your desktop. (edit: Heck, even a word document would work, but would be a bit more clunky imho)
For example:
<html>
<a href="\\servername\share\filename1.doc">Filename1 (Doc)</a>
<a href="\\servername\share\filename2.pdf">Filename2 (PDF)</a>
...
</html>
Could probably write a script to create the HTML automatically from the filenames, to keep the page up to date. Then set it up with some CSS so it doesn't look like crap.
Of course, if your organization is running Sharepoint, then it is a no-brainer to use that.
