Some of my customers adressed me the problem of not being able to open the explorer view for document libraries. This sounded strange to me because i could open it on my development machine. So i started some research about this. First of all my development machine has Windows Server 2003 as operating system. So that was not a good case. On my notebook i have Vista installed and to my surprise i also could not open explorer view. So something strange was going on.

Finally i discovered that in some cases the explorer view won't work. This is due to problemens with the webdav / webfolders configuration of the operating system. To solve this problem, Microsoft has released a software update for web folders (KB907036). You can download it here if you or your customers experience problems with the explorer view:

p.s. Be sure you and your customers reboot the operating system after installing the update!
