Windows Explorer Auto Arrange - Disable

Brink, I have a question. Ive read much of this thread and have downloaded the disable program which works well BUT every time I add a new file or folder to Documents, I expect it to be the last file/folder in the Documents folder but it isn't. Win 7 puts it where it wants to and I have to go looking for it. Ive disabled the Auto Arrange, Align to Grid and anything else I could think of but still cant get it to put that new file/folder at the end of the Documents folder. Can you please help..?? thanks.

Yes, I understand that to be the case IF the folder is open and one drags and drops it into the folder. My problem is when I create a word doc or create a pdf from another doc and save it, it automatically goes into the My Docs or Docs folder. Im used to going to the last doc in the Docs folder to find it BUT if I create a doc now in Win 7, even with the auto arrange disabled, its is placed somewhere other than the last doc in the folder. Try it yourself by opening say Word and click Save As, give it a name and save it. It will go to your documents folder but probably wont go to the last spot. Also, if I have a number of docs, say Doc1, doc2, doc3, etc, in Documents folder AND I take a folder from within the Doc folder and move it to the last spot, when I create Doc4 and save it to Documents folder, it is placed in the position where the folder I moved to the last spot used to be...?????? Between all of the help Ive received from YOU and SevenForums, Classis shell, etc., Im almost at the point where I can work with Win 7 but this problem creates a lot of trouble for me as Im always creating documents and saving them to Documents folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Fred

But the Documents folder on my desktop (which I placed there by opening my default "Fred" folder on my desktop, RC on the Documents folder and C on send to Desktop (create shortcut) is the folder I want these items to go to. Im starting to think that maybe I cant do that because your "Disable Auto Arrange" function doesn't work on this type of folder even though I can move the folders and files around in this folder unlike I can do in the Library Document folder. Is this correct..? Do I need to create a new folder and treat it like I would the old XP My Documents folder..? I want one folder to hold most ALL of my folders and files. Sorry for the constant questions but this is a MAJOR issue for me. Thanks.

OK, that's what I was afraid of because the Documents folder is a default folder in Win7. So I guess there is no way to do what I want in Win 7 like I did in XP which is a shame because this is what I do daily...

What are your thoughts on XP 64 bit or XP Pro 64 bit..??

And, Im using MS Office XP (2002) and cant find "Word's settings. File -> Options -> Save -> 'Default local file location' that you suggested to change my "default save location". Any other way to do that OR am I doing something wrong.? I click on File but there is no "Option" option listed.

Again, Thanks for the help...

Yes, I see the File menu at the top but there is no option to set the default save to location..??
