"Your client does not support opening this list with Windows explorer."
I am accessing my SharePoint site using the Windows Server 2008 with IE8. On further investigation I found that Explorer view of a SharePoint document library uses the WebDAV protocol. The WebDAV client is not installed nor enabled by default on Windows Server 2008 R2. To use this feature we need to install Desktop Experience feature and then we need to make sure that the WebClient service is started.

SharePoint actually uses it's own web dav, so IIS web dav does not need to be installed.
If you install IIS web dav on Server 2008 SP2 or R2, it will conflict with the SharePoint web dav and cause the explorer view, upload multiple documents, upload pictures to stop working when connecting using a windows 7 client.
Hope you find this useful....
