Windows Explorer Address Bar supports URI's in the following format:

\\server@SSL@port\DavWWWRoot\path\

Leave off the @SSL if you are not using SSL/HTTPS.

Leave off the @port part unless you are using a non-default port, example:

\\server@233\DavWWWRoot\path\

to not use SSL and use non-default port 233.

So...

Click Start menu...

Click Documents... (or Pictures or any other link that opens explorer.exe)

On the top of the window, there is an address bar that will say something like JohnSmith\Documents

Change that to the above-mentioned WebDAV format URI and press enter... (Probably something simple like \\website-with-webdav\davwwwroot\path\, edit this to get the correct path.)

You could then create a shortcut to that folder to open it faster.
