Hi,
Under Windows 2000 there was a feature called "Web Folders" that was
installed by default. You could use it to browse a server-extended HTTP
site as part of the Windows Shell, including copying and pasting files.
Under VISTA I can not get this to work. I can go to "Computer", then
right-click blank space and choose "Add Network Place". I can then enter
a URL, after a delay it creates the shortcut, but it doesn't actually
work, it just sits there as an empty folder. It also does not prompt me
for my NTLM authentication. I can open the exact same site from within
SharePoint Designer 2007, and it opens quickly, authenticates, and works
straight away.
I really need to get this working in the Vista Shell, as we rely heavily
on being able to do document GET and PUT to web servers.
Thanks for any help.
