You can change the default view to explorer view. In your document library ensure you are signed in as a site owner and Select Settings > Document Library Settings > Under Views Select Explorer view > Place a check in the box Make this the default view (applies to public views only) > Select OK. Now your library will open in explorer view by default

swimfish:

We have implemented this. However, now from the document library when we select Actions - > Open with Windows Explorer we get two login prompts. The first is a Windows prompt; the other is for basic authentication. After I select cancel on the windows prompt the explorer view does open using FrontPage RPC. I have however followed the advice and have added the registry key that allows webdav to use basic auth. Any thoughts on why we get this Windows prompt?
Thanks,
