Hi,
I'm having a similar issue. I just installed Windows Vista RC2. Here's what
I did:
- Under Windows Explorer, I right-click on Computer, and then select 'Add a
Network Location'.
- I click next, and select 'Choose a custom network location', and click
'Next'
- In the 'Specify the location of your website' window, I specify an
appropriate website for a web folder, and click Next
- the following error appears: 'The folder you entered does not appear to be
valid. Please choose another.'
What i also noticed is that there is no place for me to specify my
credentials to my web folder.

Please advise.
