OpenFileDialog Default View

[Negative0]

I am trying to use the OpenFileDialog to allow my users to open pictures, so I would like it to default to the thumbnail view, however I have searched around forums and google and everyone says that it cannot be set via any of the properties of the OpenFileDialog box. Are there any API calls I can use to set the view to Thumbnails?

I am using VS.NET 2003.

Thanks,

I think it's more registry key than you need to set .

Thanks Pirate, However, that is not what I am looking for. The files my users are going to open are JPGs or BMPs, so I can use the built in Thumbnail views for windows. My problem is that whenever the OpenFileDialog is shown, it always defaults to list mode, no matter how the user has their explorer window setup. I am looking for a way to force the OpenFileDialog into thumbnail mode.

Thanks,
