Display a Windows Folder in an IFRAME

[FesterSXS]

On one of our internal sites within the company, I have been asked to show a Windows folder in a scrollable area on the right-hand side of one of the pages. I have done this using an IFRAME but the folder contents are all displaying with large icons. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could make the small icons show instead?

Many thanks

You'd have to set it in your folder options first. Otherwise, you *might* be able to embed an ActiveX control to display small icons, being as you're using the HTML file locally. I'll reply back when I look into it deeper.

I'm sure I've seen this done using an ActiveX control... I just cannot find the information about it.

Will let you know if I find it.

I think this is the code, but apparently XP doesn't have the ShellListView anymore? Not entirely sure but it won't work for me on XP Pro SP1. I do know that this control is used on Win98SE, because I used to play with it in the folder.htt files. Anyway:

<object id="FileList" classid="clsid:1820FED0-473E-11D0-A96C-00C04FD705A2">
<param name="Location" value="C:">
<param name="ViewMode" value="2">
</object>

ViewMode 2 is supposed to be small icons. I think ViewMode 3 is the list format.

Aaah excellent.. and using that CLSID, I found the list of other related items on MSDN:
