Always open ftp site using Windows Explorer

[Janet Kreinbrink]

Is there a way to set a default so that ftp sites always open in Windows
Explorer (as opposed to opening the ftp site and then "reopening" it using
the "Page/Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer" option)?

This doesn't seem to be an Office question, but this is an Office support
group.

You might be better off asking this in a Windows support group.

Mention what version of Windows you use and verify that you really mean
Windows Explorer as opposed to Internet Explorer.

Also supply a bit more detail/step-by-step examples of what you're doing, as
it's not clear exactly what you're seeing.

If you simply type ftp://name.of.site into the address bar of Internet
Explorer (or most other browsers) it opens the site directly.

OK will do. Sorry about that.

(and the option I'm looking to automate is called Windows Explorer, not
Internet Explorer).
