Webfolders and the WebBrowser Navigate method

[Lars Balker Rasmussen]

I can easily get a new InternetExplorer window to open an URL supplied
to the Navigate method, but Is it at all possible to simulate the
behaviour you get when choosing File->Open, typing in the URL, and
selecting "Open as Web Folder"?

One'd think there'd be a bit supplied in BrowserNavConstants or
something, but I sure can't find anything. I'd much rather not
implement my own WebDAV-browser, when IE does an adequate job...

Interestingly(?!) this doesn't seem to be possible at all. I put an
"event-sniffer"[1] on InternetExplorer and opened the same
webdav-enabled site in two sessions with or without "Open as Web
Folder" selected. No discernable differences.

So, back to the drawing-board after having wasted far too much time.
Thanks...
