You might mention that it doesn't work on v1.0. Some of your loyal readers aren't using the CTPs yet!

I'm a few days behind on posting this, but now you can run the current version of sysinternals tools

# re: cd into Sysinternals Tools from PowerShell

You can also do this from CMD -

net use * \\live.sysinternals.com\tools

Or run a tool using an explicity path -

\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\psinfo

You'll have to accept EULA pop-up the first time you run any tool though.

Note that the WebClient service must be running for this to work because interacting with files over HTTP in this way uses the WebDAV protocol, and WebDAV requires the WebClient service. WebClient is started by default in Vista and XP, but is disabled in 2003. In 2008 the service isn't even available unless you've install the Desktop Experience feature from Server Manager.

How can I set my own web directory to be accessible like this?  Is it an IIS feature?
