    Arranging user folder icons..?


    I just recently installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and I can't figure out a way to arrange the folders in my user folder, or my documents folder, etc. The only files I seem to be able to arrange are my desktop. I have a lot of documents folders set up in a very specific way since windows 95 so this is a must for me. Am I missing something or am I really stuck with arranging them in the way windows wants to (by date, name, etc.)?

    Hello Jay,

    Welcome to 7 Forums.

    I'm sorry to say that this option seems to have been removed. Hopefully it will come back.

    OK thanks for the reply... for right now I just put numbers in front of my folder names so Windows would put them in the right order... better than nothing I suppose.
