Windows 7 How do I manually move icons in Windows Explorer?

[Cyborg31]

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 to the end but that cursor doesn't appear (the cursor that appears when you try to drag a file or folder inbetween another file/folder).

In Vista, I just need to move one file/folder out of the order and it disables auto-sort. But it doesn't work in Windows 7.

As a quick workaround with folders I want at the top of an open window (let's say, for example, I use Office 2003 and Elmers Muses folders all the time) I name the folders (Alt+0160)Office 2003 and (Alt+0160)Elmers Muses.

Its not perfect, Elmers Muses will still be alphabetically before Office 2003 but at least they are in the top row(s) of their parent folder.
