Setting up Webfolders on Windows 7 is a breeze when compared to Windows Vista. The attached video shows how to set things up in about 2 and 1/2 minutes. If you prefer written instructions those are available here.
If you run into anything unusual when setting up Webfolders please leave a comment for us.

Many thanks for this as I’ve had a lot of trouble getting webfolders to work for our school in Vista (after a long run of no problems with XP).
But this worked fine on Windows 7.
I am having problems installing a webfolder.
When I type the address with windows 7 I get an error.
The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another.
I know the server is there I connect to the server by mapping a new network drive. I cannot add a network location though.
Is there any chance it’s an SSL issue? If so try https:// instead of http://
Hi I am unable to use this method or the method of mapping a drive for a webEx site that I need to be able to drag and drop files to. I used to be able to do this under my network places in WInXP. The website is ASPX.
Hi Chris – If you are referring to Cisco’s WebEX product, a review of their product technology documentation (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10352/technology.html) shows no mention of WebDAV support. Are you certain that WebDAV is supported? If so you may need to contact them to find out what to do.
