    Vertical icon listing


    Hello :)

    can you change the layout for icons in explorer?

    in windows7 the sorting is

    a a b
    b c c
    c d d

    in XP it was

    a b c
    a c d
    b c d

    when i read file names in w7 it takes min 5x more time to read them ;/

    i dont know why sb from ms do this and when, but this is s**t :)

    can you make windows7 to sort icons like XP?

    I don't know but if you start typing the selection will jump on your icon.

    Yes i know, but ...

    if i dont know exact begining of the text i'am searching for, it takes a huge amount of time more to find it....

    disorder of same word-begin-letters requires more space to cover with our eyes, when using win7 sorting

    if we've got 3 columns with 25 rows each, we have to move our eyes 25 times from left to right
    in XP like sorting its 3 times to look from top to bottom

    of course, you can say, i can still look top-bottom in win7, but if i read (from example in 1st post) a-b-c a-c-d b-c-d, my brain gets confused and it takes more time for me to look inside each position and look for searching term.
    its much easier when i read a-a-b b-c-c c-d-d
