Hi,
I just setup a webdav site. It didn't work. Then I found out that none of my ez webdav sites are working - shocking!
Well, the reason is: You can't open a webdav site with CTRL+O like it was before at Windows XP and Explorer.
You need to open: Start -> Computer -> Extras -> add network resource Choose "web folder" (or is there "webdav" in english?) Enter the url WITHOUT # at the end!Like http://webdav.mysite.com/
Save it - works again.
Hast la vista ...
Best wishes, Georg.

Hi Georg, are you using Windows Vista Ultimate? I don't have Ultimate and cannot locate this "Extras" menu or option.
What works for me is to:
1) Open Network on the Desktop 2) Select the Tools menu, then Map Network Drive 3) Click "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures" 4) Select "Choose another network location" 5) Enter the WebDAV address (usually "http://webdav.yourserver.com") 5a) If prompted with the error "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another.", try downloading the Windows Vista WebDAV patch, as discovered on this blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/bill/archive/2007/05/29/webdav-fix-for-vista.aspx6) Enter your username and password when prompted.
