This White Paper explains a lot:
The Explorer View feature that is included with Windows SharePoint Services and is also available in Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server lets users access files stored in the SharePoint database using the familiar Windows Explorer interface. To the end user, this appears to be a very simple and robust feature. In reality, it is the result of a complex series of interactions between many individual components provided by separate Microsoft products.
This white paper is an effort to accomplish three things:
- Provide an overview of the Explorer View architecture.
- Document the causes and resolutions of problems you are likely to encounter when using the Explorer View in a corporate environment.
- Describe basic troubleshooting steps to be performed before engaging Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS).

Hi Joelle!
I found this whitepaper very usefull, but despite my best efforts I cannot figure out how (if at all possible) to make the Open with Windows Explorer feature in SharePoint use WebDav (as opposed to FPRPC) when I'm accessing SharePoint through HTTPS... I've set up an alternate access mapping to my SharePoint server that uses plain HTTP and confirmed that when clicking Open with Windows Explorer it infact uses WebDav (UNC path) but the same action over HTTPS results in a URL path...
Have you been able to figure out how to enable WebDav over SSL with SharePoint?
Thanks in advance;)

Hi Olav,
are you using Vista? XP is unable to do WebDAV over SSL, Vista can do:
\\server.domain@ssl\DavWWWRoot
If you need a special port you could even use
\\server.domain@ssl@444\DavWWWRoot
