Mapping Drives to Document Libraries

Hi,

using this tip, we encountered a problem here:

when our CAD-tool opens files from such a SharePoint-folder/library, they are only opened as "read only". We assume that's because the containing _folder_ is marked as read only. The files themself have write access, but that seems to be not enough for that tool ...

Does anyone have an idea why the folders of a mapped sp-library folder is read only?

I get a error: "A network name cannot be found"

Is this tip limited to Windows 7?

One thing I may add to this tip:

There is one extra step for windows XP machines, you need to take out the S in httpS, XP can not connect to secure sites. You also need to take out the %20, XP does not understand those characters to represent a space.  Instead of %20, simply add a space.

Hope this helps

The error happens after i restart the computer and then try to access it again from my computer. Any idea on this? i have tried disabled the firewall but the problem still happens.
