Well... There is msdaipp.dll,
1) a MSDAC data provider based on HTTP/WebDAV *and* 2) an explorer shell extension that can display WebDAV collections There are also hooks inside IE to open a webfolder (through the menu and the "folder" behaviour"), but they rely on the DLL above. Windows XP has yet another WebDAV access method (the mini redirector), which *does* map to a drive letter but which seems to have so many problems that it's almost useless.
