    Hello Ichiban, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    It's the same as in Vista. You would just uncheck Auto Arrange.

    Desktop Icons - View and Sort By - Vista Forums

    In addition: Windows Explorer Auto Arrange - Disable

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Hi Shawn

    the problem is not the files/folders on the desktop. i can see the "Auto Arrange" option when i right click while on the desktop, but is no "Auto Arrange" option when i right click and goto "View" while in a folder or drive directory.

    I see. Well, you could use the Sort By, Stack By, or Group By options when you right click in a Windows Explorer window. It's a little closer to what you are wanting I hope.

    Because the auto arrange option in folder view is on,so we can not move and copy file or folder by click and drag. it is not convience.

    I can't move my files and folders around either. It really bothers me /:

    Anyone know if it can be fixed, and how? (:

    You cannot move them around in a Windows Explorer window like you can on the desktop with Auto Arrange unchecked.

    You were not able to do so in Vista either though.
