I have windows XP Pro with SP2 and I can't access Web Folder in
internet explorer or in "My Network Place". I can open the folder using
an standard https address but I cannot open it using the web Folder
option.

I get the message:
"The Folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose an
other."

But I know it work, I tried it on many other computers and I can
connect with no problems.

If I open it with DAVExplorer it Work but the interface is ugly so I
would prefer working with the built-in network place of Windows XP.

If anyone have a clue of what could be the problem I would really
appreciate.
