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 choose how I want them sorted :\

Cheers in advance.

Just tried it myself, no way! But I think it was possible some builds ago because I can remember when I accidently moved a file somewhere else instead of opening it for example.

Cheers for the reply, nechan. Do you not find it odd that M$ hasn't given you the option to manually sort your files =|

I can't see this not being fixed for the final build!
