View folders as webpage?

[James]

I just bought a new computer with XP and was wondering if someone could please
tell me how to view a windows folder "as a webpage"?

My apologies if this is an obvious "newbie" question, but my previous comp.
had win 95 so am still getting the hang of XP.

Thanks very much for any help...

"View as Web Page" is not available in XP. As close as you will get to that
is using the new "common tasks" pane. To set this up, use Folder Options>
General. Select "Show Common Tasks in Folders."

Common Tasks gives much of the same details and thumbnails of selected
files just like Win95 did. It also includes shortcuts for common file
management tasks. Some folders, My Pictures for example, will list tasks
specific to that content type.

The task pane will be added to any open folder window. When working with
the two paned view of Windows Explorer, you can use the "Folders" button in
the Standard toolbar to toggle the view in the left column between
"directory tree" and "common tasks."

If you do not have a Folders button on the toolbar, right click on it and
select Customize. Use the screens that appear to add the button.

Hi, thank you very much for the info!
As I mentioned earlier, I've just graduated from win'95 so am getting used
to all the differences between the two. (In '95 it was much more straightforward-
i.e. click "view" then "as webpage")
Thanks again...
