Remove shared calendar links from 'Other calendars' in Outlook

I have developed some code in VB to write calendar entries into various
peoples' calendars on an Exchange server. However, after accessing these
calendars, a quicklink appears in Outlook 2003 (?and 2007) under 'Other
Calendars'. I want to remove these quicklinks as part of my VB code as a)
they clutter the appearance and detract from other shared quicklinks and b) I
don't want the activating person to realise that they are able to read the
other users' calendars.
Alternatively is there some way of writing appointments into another user's
calendar without having to set permissions to 'Read'. When I set the shared
calendar permissions only to 'Create items' I can't get the
'GetSharedDefaultFolder' function to work - I need to set the permissions to
'Ceate' and 'Read'
I know thethe quicklinks can be removed one at a time by right-clicking and
selecting 'Remove from other calendars' but this is time-consuming and
defeats reason b) above.
I have also looked at restarting Outlook with the /resetsharedfolders switch
but the required patch for Outlook has not been installed on our PCs by the
IT department (and they see no need to do so!)
Surely there is some way to remove these shared calendar links by code.
