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 under 'Other Calendars'. I
don’t want these and would like to remove them 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.
I know they 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.
Alternatively, is there any way of adding appointments to another user’s
calendar with their shared permissions set to ‘Create items’? When I do this
the ‘GetSharedDefaultFolder’ function doesn’t work and I need to set the
sharing permissions to ‘Creat’ AND ‘Read’.
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.
