Trick To Access WebDAV "Internet Disks" Directly Using Windows(XP,Me,2000)

There are times when you may run short of space in your harddrive and you want to store some important piece of data without deleting other files from your system. Now, the problem is where to store that data and how can you do it when you are actually running short of space and other harddrive is not avaliable at the near proximity.Wondering how can you do this without the avaliability of the harddrive?I've come upto something that could end all your worries to an extent.

Windows XP can directly access WebDAV "Internet Disks" such as Apple's iDisk. Follow the following steps:

1. In Internet Explorer, use the "Open..." command.
2. Type the name of the WebDAV server you want to access (e.g., http://idisk.mac.com/username)
3. Select the "Open as Web Folder" checkbox.
4. Enter the password when prompted and you're in!

This trick also works on Windows Me and Windows 2000. Interestingly, Windows XP doesn't seem to support iDisk via the "Add a Network Place" command, possible with these other operating systems.

Once set up using the "Open" command, however, the idisk can be accessed by simply double-clicking its icon in the Network Places folder.

Note:-Please avoid using this iDisk option for your important/personal files. Try to move the unimportant and old data into the disk rather than transferring your personal files like bank account details, your credit card details etc. they might get you in trouble.
