Cannot Access FTP sites in IE8

[Eightiesdisco]

In the past I used these instructions to access FTP sites through Internet
Explorer :
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-GB/help/2244170f-1fa3-418a-a203-1e2a8e5d8a3f1033.mspx

Recently I have been unable to do this and have not been able to find a
reason why after following a lot of troubleshooting advise including this :

Any ideas on how I can return to normal service ?

I don't know if it is still true but originally installing IE8 required you
to run FTP through Explorer, not Internet Explorer.

RegEdit? No mention of Network Places solution?
