How to open Web Folder in Windows 7?

Hi Efreet,

You’re facing this problem due to the fact that “Open as Web Folder” option is not available in Internet Explorer 8.However, there is a workaround available in Windows 7 to open web folders in explorer.

Here are the steps. 

                   a.    Click Start.

                   b.    Click Computer.

                   c.    In the following dialog click Map Network Drive.

d.    On the Map Network Drive dialog, click "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and Pictures" this will pop up the "Welcome to the Add Network Location Wizard".

e.    Click on Next.

f.     Click on “Choose a custom network location”.

g.    Click on Next.

h.    Now type the web folder address that you want to access. For instance: http://123.456.1.789/file_share 

i.     Enter a name to help you identify the web folder and click Next.

j.     Place a checkmark on “Open this network location when I click finish”.

k.    Click Finish.

l.     To open the web folder next time, just double click on the one you want to open from the My Network Places list.

That should be it.
