Details in dialog_open box
 

Hello Everyone,

When I open a file with the use of File_Open or the icon, I would like
to see the detailed view, instead of the default folder view.

Can I accomplish this via a Macro or add-in ?

Thank you in advance,

Use of FileDialog object of Application required for this purpose

This object has a property InitialView which can be set to the
following constants

msoFileDialogViewList
msoFileDialogViewThumbnail
msoFileDialogViewDetails

One snippet for reference

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewThumbnail
If .Show Then .Execute
End With
