There are two ways to do it; here's the shorter one:
   Open IE, File->Open, paste the URL in the box, click Open as Web 
Folder and OK, enter your username/password in the box.

The longer one takes you through a Wizard, so there's a lot more 
clicking (names relative to XP Pro, since that's what I have handy):
   Open My Network Places, then Add Network Place, Next, "Choose another 
network location", Next, paste the URL in the box, Next, enter your 
username/password in the box, Enter a name for the Shortcut it creates, 
Next, Finish.

The second one is still easy, a lot harder to explain, but it leaves a 
shortcut to the WebDAV server in "My Network Places" which the next 
time you can just double-click on (subject to the Windows 
username/password cache, naturally).
