    Start Windows Explorer in Thumbnails view

    Is there a way (command line switch) to open Windows Explorer and set the
    view to Thumbnails?

    Thanks,

    Tim

      Tim,

      I doubt it. You might want to look at automating it, but your best bet
      would probably be to send messages to explorer to change the view
      (specifically, the listview in explorer).

          Hi Nicholas,

          SendMessage is very powerfull, thats true, we can nearly do anything
          with it, but does it work in this case. Did you check it? I am curious
          about it,...


          Regards

          Kerem

              Kerem,

              I didn't check it, which is why I said "probably". I'm leaving that as
              an exercise to the OP. Specifically, I would look at the documentation for
              the list view windows control, specifically, the windows message reference.
