How to Create a WebDAV Share in Windows Vista

A WebDAV share enables you to access a network location just like any other folder on your computer.
In this example I’m setting up a WebDAV share to a location on a Sysinternals Live web site.
Create a WebDAV Share
- Click Computer in the Start menu.
- Right-click anywhere in the white space of the Computer window and select Add a Network Location.
- Click Next in the welcome window.
[1]
- Click Choose a custom network location.
[2]
- Type the address of the WebDAV share in the Internet or network address box and then click Next.
[3]
Example addresses:
\\server\share,http://website.com/share, orftp://website.com - Give the new network location a name and then click Next.
[4]
- Click Finished and you’re done!
[5]
Now when you open Computer in the Start menu you’ll see the WebDAV share you’ve just created.
[6] 
Open the share and it looks like any other folder. You can run programs and open files just like you would in any other folder.
