No web folders as far as I can tell.
I just don't get this. The fact that I can even edit the documents off a
share and have the changes reflected in SharePoint (and alerts sent) makes
no sense. (Not that I'm complaining since if the data is also on the file
system, I can use a decent search tool (unlike the horrible one included
with Sharepoint/SQL) to find data.)
