    In XP, you can have your folders sorted into catagories or alphabeticly in groups. In 7..the folders are just listed alphabeticly. I want my folders to sort into all links together, all word docs together, and all pics together.
    I can't find anything.

    Isn't that what View / Group by / Type gives you?

    Hello Justauntb,

    I would think that using View -> Group by -> Type would give you that.

    File and Folder Arrangement - Group by - Sort by - Arrange by



    Hope this helps,

In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not...
