1. uninstalled FP Extensions
owsadm -o fulluninstall -p 80
2. removed all HTTP Headers from Web Folder
3. restarted server
4. Result: My Win XP SP2 client still trying to load FP Extensions on my
server.
Microsoft might have idiot programmers who cant make such a common task as
accesss folder on server work properly without using FTP or any VPN or
Terminal Servers.
