WHS Shared Folders from the Windows 7 Taskbar
HomeServerLand have a great post on how to pin your Windows Home Server shared folders to the Windows 7 taskbar.
Fellow MVP Alexander Kent has translated the original German text from Windows Guru Bjoern Buerstinghaus for this excellent tip, which i am using right now.
Alexander takes us through the necessary steps, which you can find here.

On desktop: new shortcut -> \\whs\ , Finish.
Drag shortcut to taskbar, change icon if desired.

Your method does not work with Windows 7
It works fine for me if you leave off the final backslash. Of course, you need to replace whs with the name of YOUR server.
This is identical to the Desktop shortcut created by installation of the WHS Connector, at least with the HP version of the Connector software.
