You need to configure this in Internet Explorer Preference Mode:
UserConf\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance [right click] -> "Preference Mode". Then choose Advanced\Internet Settings. Under "Advanced Settings" there is the setting "Enable folder view for FTP sites" - you can enable/disable it there as far as I remember.

Be sure to read a little about Internet Explorer Preference Mode:
