WEBDAV Issues on Win2k3 Enterprise

OK, I've read every post here about webdav. I have win2k3 server, all latest
service packs bla blah. NO Office server extensions. I have tried everything
to get rid of FPSE, but they wont go away.
I followed all the notes in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=221600
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=323470
my web dav site is a root site, not a folder, as I saw another post saying
there was an issue with that.
I have the WebClient service running on the client workstations. Still I can
not connect to the webdav folder.
I can browse the folder as a web page, and see the folder listing. Whenever
I try and connect as a web folder, it fails.
Just for the hell of it I downloaded the Novell NetDrive client - it
basically puts a friendly front end on "Net use" and it reports a 404 when I
try and connect.
Every indication I've found points at FPSE being the issue, but I can't
remove them.
Is there some utility I can get to totally blat FPSE so they wont come back?
I tried deleting the files manually (the ones not currently loaded), but
Windows file protection restored them for me...!

Try to deny everyone on the FP Extensions DLL :)
But I doubt, this is the real reason for the error...

! I thought I was the only sad person working on Sunday :-)
Thanks for the quick response. I'v just uninstalled IIS from the box, tried
to delete C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server
extensions\50 - and it still gives me "access denied" - FPSE still has some
DLL loaded, even though IIS isnt running..

I recently got infiormed about a problem with WebDAV so permenantely
disabled it in the registry;

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;241520

Pertains to IE5.0, but might be applicable to newer versions aswell (don't
have WS2003 so can't check... sorry)

I found the answer - I had to totally remove IIS from the server box - and
reinstall. At that point the FPSE were not there, and WEBDAV started working.
I'm now in the process of nailing down the security. Front page is really the
pits - the only people who like it are the MS FrontPage team and people who
don't understand computers.

BTW had a quick look at your site. What can I say? I write software to try
and feed my family, and I expect to get paid for my efforts. I'm NOT going to
get into a debate about Open Source - I get the lecture every day from my
colleagues - normally as they are ripping off yet more copyrighted software /
music / DVDs.
Looking forward to yet more attacks on my firewall...
