§ Folder Select this option if you want to display a list of files in a folder.
§ File Select this option to display the contents of a file. The file opens either in a separate browser window or inside the Web Part if the application that opens the file supports inline activation for that file in the browser window.

You can use an absolute URL or a relative URL. However, you cannot use a file path.
§ If you select Folder earlier in this section, you must enter a valid local or network folder. Displaying a folder requires Microsoft Internet Explorer.
§ If you select File earlier in this section, you must enter a valid file path. Displaying a file requires Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also select Browse to locate the file.
Web parts share a common set of properties that control their appearance, layout, and advanced characteristics. You change Web Part properties in the tool pane.
Note: The common Web Part properties that you see in the tool pane may differ from what is documented in this section for several reasons:
Title
Specifies the title of the Web Part that appears in the Web Part title bar.
Height
Specifies the height of the Web Part.
Width
Specifies the width of the Web Part.
Chrome State
Specifies whether the whole Web Part appears on the page when a user opens the page. By default, the chrome state setting is Normal and the whole Web Part appears. Only the title bar appears when the state is set to Minimized.
Chrome Type
Specifies whether the title bar and border of the Web Part frame are displayed.
Hidden
Specifies whether the Web Part is visible when a user opens the page. If the check box is selected, the Web Part is visible only when you are designing the page and has the suffix (Hidden) appended to the title.
You can hide a Web Part. For example, you might want to use it to provide data to another Web Part through a Web Part connection, but you do not want to display the Web Part.
Zone
Specifies the zone on the page where the Web Part is located.
Note: Zones on the page are not listed in the list when you do not have permission to modify the zone.
Zone Index
Specifies the position of the Web Part in a zone when the zone contains more than one Web Part.
To specify the order, type a positive integer in the text box.
If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from top to bottom, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears at the top of the zone. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from left to right, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears on the left of the zone.
For example, when you add a Web Part to an empty zone that is ordered from top to bottom, the Zone Index is 0. When you add a second Web Part to the bottom of the zone, its Zone Index is 1. To move the second Web Part to the top of the zone, type 0, and then type 1 for the first Web Part.
Note: Each Web Part in the zone must have a unique Zone Index value. Therefore, changing the Zone Index value for the current Web Part can also change the Zone Index value for other Web Parts in the zone.
Important: To see the Advanced section in the tool pane, you must have appropriate permission.
Allow Minimize
Specifies whether the Web Part can be minimized.
Allow Close
Specifies whether the Web Part can be removed from the page.

Allow Editing in Personal View

Export Mode
Specifies the level of data that is permitted to be exported for this Web Part. Depending on your configuration, this setting may not be available.
Title URL
Specifies the URL of a file that contains additional information about the Web Part. The file is displayed in a separate browser window when you select the Web Part title.
Specifies the ScreenTip that appears when you rest the mouse pointer on the Web Part title or Web Part icon. The value of this property is used when you search for Web Parts by using the Search command on the Find Web Parts menu of the tool pane.
Help URL
Specifies the location of a file that contains Help information about the Web Part. The Help information is displayed in a separate browser window when you select the Help command on the Web Part menu.
Help Mode
Specifies how a browser will display Help content for a Web Part.
Modal Opens a separate browser window, if the browser has this capability. A user must close the window before they return to the Web page.
Modeless Opens a separate browser window, if the browser has this capability. A user does not have to close the window before they return to the Web page. This is the default value.
Navigate Opens the Web page in the current browser window.
Note: Even though custom Microsoft ASP.NET Web Parts support this property, default SharePoint Help topics open only in a separate browser window.
Catalog Icon Image URL
Specifies the location of a file that contains an image to be used as the Web Part icon in the Web Part List. The image size must be 16 by 16 pixels.
Title Icon Image URL
Specifies the location of a file that contains an image to be used in the Web Part title bar. The image size must be 16 by 16 pixels.
Import Error Message
Specifies a message that appears if there is a problem importing the Web Part.
Target Audiences
An audience can be identified by using a SharePoint group, a distribution list, a security group, or a global audience. The Web Part appears only to the people who are members of the audiences that you specify here.
The linked content of the Page Viewer Web Part is isolated from other content on the page by the HTML IFRAME element. The Page Viewer Web Part displays content asynchronously from the rest of the page. This means that you can view and use other WebParts on the page if the link happens to take a long time to return the content.
This element ensures that any HTML elements that are displayed as content in the Page Viewer WebPart do not conflict with other HTML elements on the page. For example, the page may already contain an HTML FORM element, and the page would not be displayed correctly if the linked content also contained an HTML FORM element that was not inside the HTML IFRAME element.
