Open FTP in Windows Explorer

[Guest]

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and I'm trying to open FTP site in
Windows Explorer like I use to do on Windows XP. I do not want to open it in
Internet Explorer just Windows Explorer. I have been able to open in IE7 and
then switch to Windows Explorer but I want to cut out the IE7 step.

Right Click anywhere in the right pane of Windows Explorer and select
"Add Network Location" then follow the wizard.

It will guide you through setting up the FTP client.

When I Right-Click in the righht pane in windows Explorer that option does
not appear. Is there another way to get to this particular Wizard? I have
tried to access the Wirard from Network and Sharing Center but cannot find
the right option.

Open "Computer"
right-click on the right pane...
Add Network Location.

Open "Computer"
right-click on the right pane...

Windows Explorer.

That option is not available in Windows Vista.

Open "Computer"
right-click on the right pane...
Add Network Location.

Huh?

That option is not available in Windows Vista.

Sorry, I was in "My Computer" instead of Computer. In Windows Explorer, the
Computer's right pane is the only right pane I found where I can get "Add
Network Location". Thanks,, worked great.
