Setting Up WebDAV in Windows Vista

In order to use WebDAV on a computer running Windows Vista you must install Microsoft's Software Update for Web Folders. You can download this from the Microsoft Download Center at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=17C36612-632E-4C04-9382-987622ED1D64.

Once you've connected to WebDAV, you can create a mapped drive to your directory. You can get information on how to set up at mapped drive here.
