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.
