Viewoptions for WebBrowser as DirectoryBrowser

Hi all,

although this topic was already posted by someone else a few weeks ago, let me put it on the desk again.

It's the problem of how to assign the WebBrowser Control a view property value, when using it as DirectoryBrowser. One may argue, that this is not the appropriate usage of a WebBrowser, to display the content of a diectory. OK, every alternative suggestion is welcome, what other control is avaiable, to get exactly the view of a directory as the WindowsExplorer provides, with all functionality of contextmenus, viewoptions, columnconfiguration and drag&drop behaviour.

Anyway, assigning "C:\" as Url to the WebBrowser is a legal operation, and the WebBrowser displays the content properly. BTW, the same do the IE, when typing "C:\" in the adressbar. But in contrast to the WebBrowser Control as part of my application, IE respects the settings of the Extras/Folderoptions menu, where the user can set a special view (details, list, symbols, etc.) as default for all directories.

I'm sure there is a way (and probably a very simple way), to configure the WebBrowser Control, so that a specific viewoption is used. The problem is, one have to know it.

So who knows it
