FrontPage hyperlinks

[Guest]

I need to construct hyperlinks which don't open a file but
open a folder containing a number of files. The folder could open in either
Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer. I'm sure this is possible but I'm not
sure exactly how it's done.
I would appreciate any help you could provide

Create the URL as http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/
then contact your host to allow the folder(s) to be browsed.

I tried it on my web site and I can browse everything there!
How do I stop a user from being able to do that?

 

[Tom Pepper Willett]

Contact your host and ask them to turn off the directory browsing.

Put a default page in the folder - default page will have the same file name
as your home page.

 

[Andrew Murray]

which folder would you be opening - the C: drive of the User's computer?

you can do this, but only with a folder on the web server.

link to the folder, that has no 'index.htm' page in it, and it will list the
contents of the directory.

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Only if the server host has directory listing enabled
