Working with FTP sites in Windows Explorer – Vista / Windows7

I have traditionally used Internet Explorer for quick FTP access at work and other PC’s. After the upgrade to IE7, however, I began to get annoyed that it wouldn’t open in Windows Explorer without an additional step (Click Page > Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer). It never really bothered me enough to find a way around it until a client began to use FTP for their program managers.
In Windows XP, it was as easy as finding the site listed in My Network Places and adding a shortcut to that on the desktop. In Vista and Windows 7, My Network Places is replaced by the Network and Sharing Center.
