Problem with web folders

[David DB]

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.

Have you tried the "rebuild icons" option?

Hi!

The link was a solution to a very different issue about losing the Internet
Options in the control panel.

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.

In Win XP I do not think WE had browser capability, so it makes sense to
open IE for a web page. What version IE (7 or 8?)/

 

[David DB]

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.

I don't like being "right" if there is no solution!-)
