I noticed something else
NOT only change the folder name will make files auto arrange, but also if I change any sub-folders name of the the files path.
example:-
Design < Photoshop < CS5 < Beginner < (orange file, apple file, banana file)
If I change the name of any sub-folders or move it, files auto arrange.
Question for Brink:
I haven't tried this just yet & I will regardless of answer, but I'm curious. Why use Reset...reg 1st & THEN Disable...reg when Disabling is what I am going for in the 1st place?
It works great!
I used the Disable...reg (w/o 1st using Reset...reg) & now I can arrange as I see fit. Also; I was able to take pic 100, drag it next to pic 25, close the folder & once I went back into the folder, my rearranging was kept!
Thanks for this & all your tips/tricks/tweaks!
That's great news CJW. I'll do some more testing with only the disable..reg to see if we can shorten the steps a bit. :)
CJW,
What order did you use for the steps using only the Disable....reg file? I can't get this to work for me unless I use the Reset...reg file as in the tutorial.
Thank you! The auto arrange feature is easily the most annoying feature of Windows 7, and you've fixed it for me, thanks again.
Sorry for the delay in replying, comfuser went down & had 2 format & reinstall 7 Pro. 64Bit.
As per your question Brinks; I have my picture folders set to Large Icons sorted by Name & Ascending. Then I just used the posted Disable Auto Arrange.reg file. Seems to even be working just fine on my portable drive.
