auto sort

Up to lately the folder order was displayed AUTOMATICALLY from A > Z: Now windows always shows the order in reverse order by default (Z > A) ... Why is this, and how can I "set" it again so that it shows automatically (not every time by hand) as described at the beginning ?!? Thanks for...

I go to delete a file and Microsoft says 'preparing to delete'. No preparation was needed, its a 10kb file. So its very simple, delete the file win7, ive already closed the program that was using it (and confirmed in task manager). If its another program, then tell me what it is. MS shenanigans...

I have this 'disorder' where I like my files to be organized and easy to access in a user friendly manner… My problem is win7 makes things needlessly difficult. By far my biggest issue is moving files around…. I might have a folder with a few dozen (or a few hundred) files, so when I cut/paste...

First of all, if you don't want to hear me bitch, please leave now. 1. when I leave my CPU on for a while (around 2-3 days?) and it has an update that installs during shutdown, whenever I pull it out of standby, it AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS DOWN, INSTALLS UPDATES, AND RESTARTS WITHOUT SYSTEM...

I am sorry if this already discussed. I am trying to rename 20+ folders in Windows Explorer and they jump all over place. I need to keep them in place after renaming. Is anybody knew how to disable auto sorting in folders, not on the Desktop. Thank you for wonderful forum! Windows 7 Ultimate...

I saw some people complain about auto sorting but noone really replied to it. Could someone tell me if there is any way to deactivate it, so that I can change the sequence I see my files/folders so that I am not restricted to name/date etc It's not something vital but it can get very annoying...

When your in folder, doing folder or file operations in Windows 7, the auto sort will always be on and this is VERY frustrating! In XP, while in a folder, nothing will auto sort until you refresh the folder view or reopen the folder. This means if you create a new folder or just downloaded a...

My Folders and files are set on auto-sort (by name) and I can't figure out how to disable it. I want to arrange them in my own order. Basically I folders A, B, and C and they're arranged in that order by name. I want to move folder A to the end like B, C, A. Of course I try to drag it over...

I posted this in the General section, but it seems the techies don't visit there! I'm using the 32 bit version of W7 and one thing I really can't stand (or figure out how to turn off) is the auto sorting of my files. I want to be able to move them around - within a certain folder - without...

I'm using the 32 bit version of W7 and one thing I really can't stand (or figure out how to turn off) is the auto sorting of my files. I want to be able to move them around - within a certain folder - without Windows sorting them for me. How can I turn it off? I can only seem to be able to...
