You’ll have noticed the option isn’t there any more. It’s been removed. Apparently this is because they have done some work to separate  Internet Explorer from the Windows Shell.

There’s a way round this though. You can map a internet folder as a network drive. Just click map a network drive  like so:

Map network drive

Then, click ‘Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and Pictures’ at the bottom.

Map network drive

Follow the wizard that pops up and you’re done.
