[Technical] File List rather than icon display whenbrowsingdirectories

[Stephen Digby DEET]

Yes but if I make a link on a web page like file:///H:/Resources/curriculum/QITs/QIT-Teaching&Learning/
I get the icon view of the folder contents inside explorer without these options.

In firefox, I get the nice old file listing......  BUT for other reasons I don't want to switch the whole school default browser to
Firefox.

Hi Stephen,

Not quite sure what you mean here ... if I start IE, and type "c:\" in the URL bar, I get a folder/file listing, and can click on
"View" in the menubar to change what I see to Details, Icons or whatever ..

Cheers,
Clarky
