Guess you are using a PDF file? Depending on how the PDF was created, you
might want to re-export to PDF with the desired settings, or make the
changes using Adobe Acrobat

Oops sorry, didn't read it right, it's "contents of a folder".

NT4 is not enough info,

Are you using IIS, PWS, Apache or some other webserver?

hi lou,
it's just a simple html page that has a link to another page that
shows the contents of a folder. the folder holds photos and when the link is
clicked on it opens the folder but the view (of the files... list, details,
icons...ect) comes up as an icon view. what i want to do is have it open the
folder so that the files are shown in details view. no IIS, PWS, Apache or
some other webserver used or needed, just a simple html page that sits on
this nt4 (sp 6) computer. it is simple and works well, i would prefer, if
it's possible to have the view of the photo files to be as details not as
icons. i figure their should be a switch that i can add to the end of the
hyperlink to force details view...
do you think this is possible?

regards
joe

Yes, I think it is possible, but maybe not by just adding something to
the hyperlink.

Just a few questions:

1. Do you want this to work only on your local PC or should it also work
for everyone via internet?

2. Are you designing some kind of Active Desktop page?

3. Should it work with any browser or only with IE?

4. What version or OS are you using?

5. does your link look like this: <a href="c:\myfolder">
or like this: <a href="file://c:/myfolder">
or like this: <a href="file://localhost/c:/myfolder">
or like this: <a href="c:\go.bat"> and in go.bat a line as follows:
explorer.exe /root,c:\myfolder

Might clear up what you actually are trying to do, actually this has
nothing to do with webdesign.

Hmm, I tried it and even when default is set to list view, it displays
Icons. Strange. But opening it via a shotcut does work (workaround).

Do the following:
Create a shortcut somewhere (for this example i'll use c:\)
rightclick->new->shortcut
Type in the destany folder "c:\myfolder"
Type in some name "mylink"

Now in your HTML file do
<a href="file://c:/mylink.lnk">

The browser will ask if you want to open it or save it, choose open and
check the box so it will not ask next time.

Actually you should have asked this at microsoft.public.internetexplorer
