I have a desktop on which I both Vista and Window 7 installed in a dual boot configuration. I have been able to access which ever OS is running from a laptop over a wireless network for some time with no problem.

I can still connect to Windows7 with no problem and the identities and connect parameters are the same for either OS. I also note that I have one of the drives on the desktop Mapped and when I try and access that drive using the same password as for remote access I have no problem. It is really a frustraing sc…

Hi I experienced same problem then I did the registry tweak and it just worked! thanks. But I still got a problem: some applications now have font and size problem, such as GetRight, MD5Summer, and more other, they features the bold and ugly "System" font! (the font named "System"). Some apps also experience size problem which I am sure it is caused by the environment which has the "System" font, although the fonts are actually correct (not "System"). Any help?

Hi! We want to connect to a web folder using the Windows explorer. When typing for example: https://mydomain.com/documents in Windows Explorer, it will open this in Internet Explorer, and not the Windows Explorer. If we add this address to the web folders in Windows, it works, but only when going through web folders. Is there any possibility to force Windows Explorer to recognize the address as a web folder without going through the web folder hirarchy ? (something like "webfolder:https://mydomain.com/documents") Since we are using this method in a program, the current behaviour is not possible to use. BTW: In Vista it works. David
