file organization

Can anyone pls tell me how to put a folder full of shortcuts in the upper part of the desktop. On XP was easy - you just take the folder and move the mouse up as high as possible and than the folder stays like an upper taskbar with shortcuts that can hide. On Vista was quite not so easy but i...

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...

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...

Hello, I just recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my PC and I have couple of questions regarding it: 1. Next problem is about putting one file below or up the other one in Windows Explorer, for example: File1.txt File2.txt When I try to drag and drop File1.txt below File2.txt...

I just installed Windows 7. I can't seem to manually change the order of icons in my folders. I am bound by using the sort by name/size/date etc. How do I just change the order by drag and dropping the items?

My Folders and files are set on auto-sort (by name) and I can't figure out how to disable it. 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 to the end but that cursor doesn't appear...

Hi I'm really confused about what I should do. I recently wiped my HDD after getting a new box, installed XP then W7RC. When installing XP, I made 2 Partitions, C:/ and D:/. The C:/ drive was ~100 GB on which I installed the OS, and the D:/ Drive was ~130 GB. What I then did was copy the...

In XP and Vista it was possible to change the sorting order for numbers in file and folder names, by defining NoStrCmpLogical=1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer (ref Link Removed) When I do this in Windows 7 RC (64 bits) nothing happens. Do you...

Hi all, Win7100 64 installed and occasionally enjoying it so far. My Problem: I inserted a typical client-provided Data CD with 1,025 CAD files spread over 203 nested folders (a manufacturer's product library). Typical file/product name something like REQY250-BC1E where REYQ is one of dozens of...

Hi all. The library concept is a great idea in theory -- and if you only have one non networked computer then this post does not apply. The idea is (finally for a Windows OS) of course to organise data by CONTENT rather than worry about the Physical location of it. A typical example these...

I've been a big user of Windows Media Center since around 2003. As the music section of Media Center is linked to the Media Player library, I have always used wmp to organise my files. In past versions of media player, unless an album was "found", wmp would organise the file unpredictably. I...

What partitions do you have what size and why??? i have 3 on a 320gb hdd 1 at 50gb (win 7) 1 at 25 (xp) and the rest with all my stuff on there pics films anything to be kept safe.

hi, I just noticed something odd: When I save a specific folder view for a folder (for example to show thumbnails for the files inside) windows saves that view. That isn't odd (of course), the odd thing is that when I visit that folder another way than last time, windows saves a seperate view...

Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday that regular PC users will be able to test out a "beta" version of Windows early next year. Windows 7, the forthcoming operating system, will let users choose to see fewer alerts and warnings from their computers. Rampant notifications and pop-up windows alerting...

Hi Guys, Have a question I could do with an answer to please! All my albums are in different folders in my music folder... The Columns as your are aware can have different rows eg track number, title, year, rating date added Etc. I want all my folders to open up displaying the same info...
