| | I noticed something else NOT only change the folder name will make files auto arrange, but also if I change any sub-folders name of the the files path. example:- Design < Photoshop < CS5 < Beginner < (orange file, apple file, banana file) If I change the name of any sub-folders or move it, files auto arrange. |

| | Question for Brink: I haven't tried this just yet & I will regardless of answer, but I'm curious. Why use Reset...reg 1st & THEN Disable...reg when Disabling is what I am going for in the 1st place? |

| | Hello CJW, Without resetting the folder views first, it will usually not work.  |

| | It works great! I used the Disable...reg (w/o 1st using Reset...reg) & now I can arrange as I see fit. Also; I was able to take pic 100, drag it next to pic 25, close the folder & once I went back into the folder, my rearranging was kept! Thanks for this & all your tips/tricks/tweaks!  |

| | That's great news CJW. I'll do some more testing with only the disable..reg to see if we can shorten the steps a bit.  |

| | CJW, What order did you use for the steps using only the Disable....reg file? I can't get this to work for me unless I use the Reset...reg file as in the tutorial. |

| | Thank you! The auto arrange feature is easily the most annoying feature of Windows 7, and you've fixed it for me, thanks again. |

| | Sorry for the delay in replying, comfuser went down & had 2 format & reinstall 7 Pro. 64Bit. As per your question Brinks; I have my picture folders set to Large Icons sorted by Name & Ascending. Then I just used the posted Disable Auto Arrange.reg file. Seems to even be working just fine on my portable drive. |
