If Windows XP is telling you the https:// address is not valid, it is probably because you need to download this update from Microsoft.

Windows Update

It pretty much worked for me straight away but you may need to reboot.

The problem with this approach is obvious. If you cannot always connect to the internet, or if it is a laptop, or if you copy/save large files, soon you will discover your desktop is locked / freezed.

Drive mapping over the Internet is a very bad idea, unless you have rock solid connection. Microsoft Windows try to cache a lot of info, so whenever you open a folder with a lot of photos or video files, Explorer will slow down your PC to a crawl. Anyway, I would strongly recommend DriveHQ FileManager. Drive / folder mapping is trivial. It also comes with a lot of great features, such as sharing folders / files to a group of people with different levels of access permission; sync folders among multiple PCs and users. It never locks up PC and upload/download speed is generally much faster than web folder or ftp folder.

Nice article, but what you describe is not mounting a DRIVE. It’s mounting to a folder. I mention this because I just spent 10 minutes following your directions only to realize you’re describing a process I already know. You description had me hoping there was some little difference that would actually provide a drive, mapped to a WebDav folder.
