    Organize Files


    What is the deal with reorganizing your files in a folder. This seems like a very basic function that Microsoft has left out. Is there any way to do this?

    Hello Dylon, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you mean like you could in XP by moving the folders around in any order in the Windows Explorer window, then yes that has been removed in Vista and Windows 7. These tutorials may be able to help you with arranging them in Windows 7 though. See their related links as well.

    thanks shawn , I can now rest easier. Although I just upgraded from Vista and I was able to move the files around. But anyways since i can't do it manually anymore would there be any way to group files in a customized way. For example l have movies that I would like to group in Genres.
