To force users to see a custom view when they open a public folder:

-- Create the custom view, choosing the "On this folder, visible to everyone" option.

-- Choose View | Current View | Define Views. Select the desired view, and click Publish. At the bottom of that dialog, check the box for "Only show views created for this folder."

-- On the folder's Properties dialog, on the Administration tab, select your view as the Initial View on Folder.

Hello,

I am looking for a way to change the view of the Public Folders from
the default Detail view to a custom Icon view. If anyone knows of a
way to accomplish this, I would be greatly appreciative. One of our
customers is looking to have this setup.

Thanks.
