I need to see sharepoint 2007 document libraries in vista. In xp this was
done easily with network places.

In vista, from what everyone is saying, we are suppossed to go to:
my computer--righ mouse click--add network location

But on the "Add Network Location" wizard I enter:
http://mywebsite.com/library/
(I have also entered about 20 permutations of the above url...)

and I get the error pop-up saying "The folder you entered does not appear to
be valid. Please choose another."

I have ten machines for my team that all depend on this functionality and we
are all using vista ultimate. Please help.

One of my colleagues discovered that basic authentication must be enabled but
is not by default. Need to change the registry as below:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Services\WebClient\Parameters "BasicAuthLevel" (REG_DWORD)

the default value of this key is 1. Change it to 2

I did this and was able to connect to Sharepoint document libraries for a
while, but now it is not working again.
