Hello,

I am trying to launch an instance of 'InternetExplorer' that also displays
the "Folders" option of the "Explorer Bar"?

I was also wondering if there is a way to actually select a specific file
that will display as the default selection within the folder shown?

The code below launches the 'InternetExplorer' app but there does not appear
to be any VB accessible interface to set the other options.

Any ideas?

Thanks & Regards,

Todd



Public Enum FolderViewMode
FVM_ICON = 1
FVM_SMALLICON = 2
FVM_LIST = 3
FVM_DETAILS = 4
FVM_THUMBNAIL = 5
FVM_TILE = 6
FVM_THUMBSTRIP = 7
End Enum


Private Sub ShowExplorer()

Dim ieExplorer As InternetExplorer

' Create the explorer window
Set ieExplorer = New InternetExplorer

' Navigate to the folder
ieExplorer.Navigate2 "C:\"

Do While ieExplorer.ReadyState < READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE
DoEvents
Loop

' Set the view mode
ieExplorer.Document.CurrentViewMode = FVM_THUMBNAIL
' Show the window
ieExplorer.Visible = True

End Sub
