    Windows sometimes orders explorer by most recently used - how to stop


    Sometimes when I pull up Explorer, my files and folders listed are not ordered by name. They seem to be ordered by last used. This is a waste of time to me. I can't find anything by last used!

    Is there a way to tell Windows - always order by name and never order by last used?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As far as I've noticed you can right click a black spot on the main window and choose Sort by Name.
    Afterwards explorer should remember that :/
