Using WebBrowser as Explorer Folder View... how to set the View Mode? 1

[CubeE101]

OK, this will most likely be directed towards strongm, but if anyone else knows the answer, please feel free to jump in...

When using the WebBrowser control to access Explorer Folders...

How do you set the display mode...
* Icons
* List
* Details

It comes up with Icons by default everytime...

I would like to set it up, somewhere in the options, to have radio buttons to select the default view...
But I'm not sure how to set the actual view in the control...

Also, on a side note, is there any way to hide the blue XP folder options side panel?
(this is a much lower priority)

Thanks in advance!!!

Display mode:
Here's are the clues...

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


WebBrowser1.Document.CurrentViewMode

Hi,
I am using Web Browser Control in my VB App, to access the network computer. That's cool, but what i actually need to do, is that once i get to the target comp., i need to get to the folder which has an access database and other data folders for my web app. Now, i need to retrieve this entire path, beginning from the Computer name to the target folder which has the database and other data folders.
e.g. Say i type in the address 10.201.66.5 and there is a folder in the C drive called sm/smdata/sm.mdb. I need the full path from the computer name upto smdata, and i need to register it in a registry of the client computer, i.e. from where i am running this app. How do i get this path??
