I searched the internet looking for a way to force the Common Dialog Control to always start with Extra Large Icons, but I didn't find any help with this.

Does anybody know if this can be done?

Not easily, no. The control doesn't make any relevant properties, methods or flags available. You probably need to hook the dialog ... e.g. similar to my Inputbox example in thread222-662729. But it isn't particularluy straightforward. There are alternative ways to leverage the shell to proviode filebrowsing - but again they are a bit of a hack.


 
Thanks strongm, it's only for my own use so I'll continue to set it manually.
