WebDAV connections
Since there's no more "My Network Places" in Vista, it took a while to find how to connect to my work's WebDAV server. In XP you add it as a "network place," and I found that if you right click on an empty area in Computer you can get the familiar dialog box, now calling it a "network location." This gives me an error trying to connect to the WebDAV server. I initially thought it was because it was a https connection, since XP had problems with that before SP2. However I discovered through the microsoft newsgroups that some people were connecting to WebDAV servers through the "net use" commands. I tried that and sure enough, I had z: mapped to my server. The GUI for mapping a drive works as well. While it wasn't exactly the solution I was looking for, I'm happy because it's functionality I have used third party software to get in XP.
