navigate from a Web page to a Web folder view

[Joshua Clausen]

I am doing some work on a web site and I want the
administrator login to be able to navigate from a Web page
to a Web folder view so he or she can easily change image
files.
In Windows 2000, you can navigate from a Web page to a Web
folder view with no problem, but in Windows XP it doesn't
work. Instead of navigating to,
say, "http://www.myserver.com", like Windows 2000 will, it
navigates to simply "//www.myserver.com", a supposed
intranet location.
I am using the examples
on "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/workshop/Author/behaviors/overview/WebFolder.asp".
Again, everything works fine on a Windows 2000 computer,
but with Windows XP: nada.
I have spent hours trying to find something addressing the
differences between how Windows XP and Windows 2000 handle
Web Folders, but I am finding absolutely nothing. Usually
I can find whatever I'm looking for, but with this it has
been eluding me like Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

The "administrator login" I speak of is an admin login I
created for adminstering the web site... it's not the
Windows adminstrator login. Sorry for the confusion.

I have found MSDN to speak only to client machines running
Windows 2000. It does not make any mention besides some
WEBDAV bits about WindowsXP. It may be possible that
navigating to a Web Folder view in Windows XP has been
disabled.
If anybody knows differently, please let me know. If can
get a definite answer I will be sure to make it available
as best I can.
