Auto sorting of files in folder

When I rename my pictures they automatically sort alphabetically in the
folder. I would like to know how to shut this feature off. I prefer to rename
all my pictures first and then when I'm finished renaming right click and
then I'll sort when I'm ready.

Re: Auto sorting of files in folder

Thanks for the reply. I've tried unchecking "Auto Arrange" as you describe in
an empty area of the file but it still sorts out the files (pictures)
instantly and automatically in order. I've also unchecked "Auto Arrange" in
the View Menu as well. Nothing seems to work. Vista in adament about sorting
automatically. Maybe another solution.... Thanks.

Try sorting on a field other than Name (click the column header of the
field you want to sort on). Then renaming the file shouldn't affect
the sort order.

Re: Auto sorting of files in folder

no, but please write to Microsoft
(microsoft.com-->contact--.Custoemrsupport-->contatcs--.email) and complain
SUCH THAT SOON TO BE RELEASED WINDOWS7 WILL FIX IT!!!

if people like us dont complain, hundreds of thousands others who suffered
remain silent because they think 'someone else should bother complaining",
then nothign will be fixed.

i already wrote to MS, now you do the same please.

Automatic resorting drives me insane to a point I might replace WinExplorer.

I guess the ill-mannered dolt (YOU) didn't get the hint.

Just FYI.

I'd go for 'evidently' which is a mere '3 degrees of separation' away from
something that makes sense,

eV-iDent-LY (V,D,LY being the 3 degrees of separation)

and hence within the realms of a possible connection. It's also 3 less than
the hypothetical '6 degrees of separation' between any word and a completely
unrelated word ([joke]).

You know, a famous termination, like the Governor (of California) when he
was in the movies - the Termination series, I mean.

I almost can't believe I wrote that :-)
