Not able to map a SharePoint site as a Mapped drive

OS -  XP SP2  

Error : The format of the specified network name is invalid

Cause = Webclient is diabled on the cleint machine

 Steps to Enable webclient

 Start => run

In the run box type services.msc

 we will find webclient service right click and open the properties and change it from disabled to automatic or manual and start the service apply the changes 

Now we can then map the drive 

However one more thing to add is we had to specify the url as \\sitename\sites\sitecollectionname
