Are there known problems using Web Folders in Vista? We have a Xythos HTTP-based file server where I work. There is a Web Foler link once you open the page for your folders, but when I click on it I get: "I E could not open https://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx as a web folder. Would you like to see its default view instead?" Or if I try to use the Add Network Location Wizard, I get the message: "Your folder does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."
This is pretty inconsistent. I have been able to get this to work in Vista, but only once or twice, and it may have been on a pre-release version. Also, I occasionally see the same problem in XP, but not that often. IE 7 hasn't been a problem in this regard, at least not from my experience.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
