Problem with web folders
Hi!
We want to connect to a web folder using the Windows explorer. When typing for example: https://mydomain.com/documents in Windows Explorer, it will open this in Internet Explorer, and not stay in the Windows Explorer. If we add this address to the web folders in Windows, it works, but only when going through web folders. Is there any possibility to force Windows Explorer to recognize the address as a web folder without going through the web folder hirarchy ? (something like "webfolder:https://mydomain.com/documents") Since we are using this method in a program, the current behaviour is not possible to use. BTW: In Vista it works. David

Problem with web folders
Hi Rick!
Maybe I did not make myself clear in the explanation of the problem. It's no missing icons/options problem. It's just that when typing in a http or https address in Windows Explorer it opens Internet Explorer. In Vista it does not do this but shows a file view if the destination is a SharePoint area.

Problem with web folders
Hi Rick!
7 & 8 And it seems that you are right about WE automatically opens IE. Or actually the Common Dialog control will show correct, but willnot accept the starting point as a http address. But after choosing the web folder it will show correctly. So there seems to be no solution. David "Rick Merrill" wrote in message ... David DB wrote: Hi Rick!
