Webdav-Unable to map the network drive to alfresco

Hi all,
I am trying to map the alfresco space to one of my drive/folder.
I have followed instructions given in https://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/tasks/tuh-maptodrive.html and also changed regedit as given.
But whatever URL I give, i am getting "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another" error. Which URL exactly I have to give?
I have tried with
(i)   http://localhost:8080/share/page/site/demo/documentlibrary
(ii)  http://localhost:8080/alfresco/webdav/Sites/demo/documentLibrary
but both gave me same error. Can someone help me out.

Which URL should I give?
Should I need to do something more(any installations?)?

Thanks in advance.

Firstly,
Should check url. It should be in the below format.
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/webdav/Sites/demo
(Consider demo is the name of the site)

Next,
We need to give some basic authentication values in Registry Editor. Type regedit in start search.
This we can get it from https://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/tasks/tuh-maptodrive.html

Next,
Should Check that 'WebClient' is also started. This you can check in services.msc

Next,
No need to go to 'click connect to a website you use to store documents and pictures'. we can simply enter the url in the folder text box. Find this in the attachment I have uploaded.

Next,
When it prompts for credentials, enter the alfresco share credentials.

This worked for me…

Hello there,
I am new in alfresco. I am using alfresco 5.0b. Well I actually can map drive like this http://localhost:8080/alfresco/webdav
but my problem is, only Admin can login and mapped drive. If I put other name and password it says
"The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password…"
if I am using chrome or any web browser I can login with username.
What I am doing wrong here?

Hey,
You restart the server and enter this url http://localhostSmiley Tongueort/alfresco/webdav. It asks for credentials.. now give any user credentials rather than admin and open. Now map the drive. I tried, It worked..
