   DavWWWRoot is a special keyword recognized by Windows Shell so you should   
   be able to do what you want, if you run a webdav server on Windows.   
      
   Have I done that? No. But why shouldn't you be able to run a Windows webdav   
   server & set DavWWWRoot to the desired nokia device on the command line?   
      
   Maybe you can install & test a Windows webdav server from this listing.

   After the Windows webdav server is running, I see batch mount scripts here.

   This says you need to set the registry BasicAuthLevel Value data to 2.

   Let us know how it works, as I see no reason (yet) why it shouldn't work to   
   mount anything you can see in the Windows file explorer as a drive letter.
