Solved How do I arrange all folders to always be organized alphabetically?

[wanttohike]

Hi, I've been looking for a solution to my problem online and can't seem to find it so I thought I'd post something here.

I have Windows 7 and whenever I open a folder it arranges by order of last accessed. This is a pain because I'm constantly having to re-sort my folders alphabetically so that I can find them. Is there any way I can make my folders always arranged alphabetically?

I've tried the Folder Options>View>Apply to Folders but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello RB, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You should be able to click on the Name column while in Details view to have the arrow pointing upwards in the Name column to have them Sort by "ascending" alphabetical order.

If you like, you can then use the method in the tutorial below to apply this to all folders. They should be by default though.

Hope this helps,

That looks like it's done it! I followed the links to your .bat files and everything seems to be setup the right way. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the fast reply.
