Attached is the error that we are getting when trying to open a Sharepoint folder in Windows Explorer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We tried increasing permissions. &nbsp;No success.<br />
<br />
The Web Client service is started. &nbsp;So, there is no need to mess with it.<br />
<br />
And, I cannot edit the registry on the IIS box to contain a new DWORD value as a Microsoft KB article suggested. &nbsp;When I try to go to Edit...New...DWORD, the Registry Editor tells me that it can't create a value.<br />
<br />
I'd rather not move any of the documents in this document library for fear of losing or messing up those documents.<br />
<br />
What is the fix for this? &nbsp;<br />

Attached is the error that we are getting when trying to open a Sharepoint folder in Windows Explorer.  

We tried increasing permissions.  No success.

The Web Client service is started.  So, there is no need to mess with it.

And, I cannot edit the registry on the IIS box to contain a new DWORD value as a Microsoft KB article suggested.  When I try to go to Edit...New...DWORD, the Registry Editor tells me that it can't create a value.

I'd rather not move any of the documents in this document library for fear of losing or messing up those documents.

What is the fix for this?  

wwwDAVRoot Error:  You might not have permission, cannot open SharePoint folder in Windows Explorer

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
