When I create a shortcut folder from a map drive (G)to my desktop. I can open all the files and everything works but when I save a file from word or any application it does not show the files that are in my shortcut folder.

It is possible that you are saving in your default personal folder instead of your shortcut folder. Look in Word under tools\options\file locations\documents and check your default folder. If this is not the correct change it here.

1.There can be several reasons for this..
Are you sure you created a shortcut not a copy the actual folder/drive?
2.Have your tried refreshing?
3. Have you checked to see if your new files are actually in this folder/drive by looking in windows explorer?
