Manuel Smeria 3.2 5 Redirector (or sometimes called Mini-Redirector) is sort of a successor to the **WebFolders** WebDAV client on windows based platforms. It is available on both XP and Vista versions of Windows and there is no special installation required. Unlike WebFolders client, Redirector provides the complete abstraction of a file system to a remote WebDAV share. The only glitch with Redirector is that it doesn't support **Basic Access Authentication** scheme by default (which is required by XWiki's WebDAV implementation). But not to worry, with a few tweaks to your registry you can enable **Basic Access Authentication** on Redirector. You may follow the steps below:

Manuel Smeria 3.2 7 * Either follow [[this article>>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787023.aspx]] or you can simply download [[this registry file>>attach:BASIC.AUTH.REG]] and execute it. Both should have the same effect.
8 * Now it's all set, open up a dos prompt and enter the following command:
