I wish to order image files in a folder in a certain way (ie not alphabetic or chronologic). I can drag and drop pictures into the preferred order, but I am not sure how to ensure the permanence of that re-ordering. Also, I would like to be able to copy these images (in there new order) to either a new folder or to a CD.
View 4 RepliesHow can I organize my pictures in the place I put them, and them stay there? For instance..I have a folder of pictures that I want to put in my own order..when I click and drag them in the order that I want, they stay there...but when I close out of the folder and go back to it..they are all back in alphabetical order by the captions. so how can I make them stay in the order I put them in myself? is there any way or is it always in alphabetical order?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently had strange pixilated images mixed in with our photos when playing music and selecting slide show, our photos appear along with random images, they are not coming from MY PICTURES folder as i have right clicked when the odd pic appears and they are coming from random folders that i can't find.
I thought the strange graphics were coming from itunes or Tom Tom so i have uninstalled them both...but the images keep coming. How do i stop media center looking and producing these annoying images
All the pictures in my Pictures folder have disappeared, leaving behind a bunch of empty folders. I did not delete them, and I have no viruses according to AVG. It appears that this happened to a few others on this forum, but no solutions were presented. I noticed that the Read Only button was checked on the main folder, so I unchecked it, and I watched the status window un-apply "read only" protection from all my actual pictures files, so it seems to me that they're still there but invisible.
I performed a system restore, and Recova is in the process of performing a "Deep Scan" for my pictures (the quicker scan did not find the files). Has anyone solved the problem of the disappearing pictures? Is this a Vista problem, or perhaps a problem with an update?
I don't know how this happened, but I didn't do it myself. For some reason,my Program Files directory has been changed to the Photos directory type, so it changed from the details like file type, size, etc., to rating, photo size, etc.I cannot figure out how to change the directory back to a General file folder type. The toolbar shows things like Slide Show, etc.The sub-directories are all fine and appear as a General type. I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-bit, without SP1.How do I change the folder type back to General?I can't figure out how with this single folder.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis has happened to me before - somehow the folder formats change themselves, eg the documents folder has options along the top like 'organise' 'view''slideshow' and 'burn' ie like in the pictures folder. I found the answer once before in one of the forums, but can't remember where it was. And why does this happen? Also, when I go to 'Help & support" in the Start button, it defaults to Lenovo (my hardware mfg) instead of Microsoft Windows.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having the same re-naming issue with Vista that i saw someone else had on this forum some time ago. I can't find the original posting but I don't think it was ever properly resolved.
The Problem:
I want to arrange a folder of different photos in a specific order (that is relevant to me) and then to rename the files so that they have a common name and are also numbered sequentially in the order i have put them in.
my "Pictures" folder, the whole thing, not just the contents got moved to the Music section. I guess I accidently dragged it there or something. I noticed it, wondered it something was wrong. So, I clicked on the start orb and clicked on my pictures. It was still there. So, I deleted the folder that was in my music section and now the whole pictures folder is gone. I tried the "shell:mypictures, but here's the thing... it seems it creating the folder on my DESKTOP. I do NOT want it there. When I delete the folder from my desktop, this is the message it gives me

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to arrange my picture folders, spatially, in a particular way (which is no problem at all on our main PC, with Windows XP. Everything stays just where I left it).On my laptop ,Vista can't seem to remember my arrangement, and if I change something like size of icon, it reverts to a block of folders, undoing everything. What am I doing wrong?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI uploaded 285 pics to a subfolder in the "Pictures" folder and my Pictures folder disappeared. I couldn't access it through the start menu, and an advanced search did not show any of my pics. I re-established the Pictures folder by "adding" it through the WIndoiws Photo Gallery program (all of the sample pics appeared too) but my subfolder is GONE. I KNOW I did NOT delete this folder. I tried a system restore - no luck. This is a brand new laptop and I am the only user.
I used a restore program at recuva.com - it couldn't find my pics but another one called "Easy Drive Data Recovery" shows them. In order to access them though, I would have to pay over $70. I don't think I should have to pay as these files were not deleted at all. I beleive they are still there - but Vista is ignoring them somehow. I need help here ... any good freeware recover programs out there? Anyone know how I can convince the system that the subfolder still exists again?
This is what my system has and I would like to ask you guys if everything works to the maximum. Why do I only have 2.12 available of physical memory?
I would love to hear what you say guys. Tnx.

On one of my computers a newly created Folder In my Documents does not find its correct space in alphabetical order when the name is inserted but stays at the bottom of the list of Folders in My Documents, requiring it to be placed in the correct place by hand incurring all the difficulties of merging Folders at the same time - all time consuming. Is there a way of correcting this? The Technical Assistance for HP Compaq failed to find a solution - maybe you readers are better equipped with the grey matter than they are?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got it set up to my tastes. That said, one MAJOR annoyance I've come across is that no matter what I do, I cant keep the custom order of my 'All Programs' and 'Favorites' menus. I'm allowed to drag and drop in the order that I like, but every time I restart it's always put back in alphabetical order. I've unchecked the 'sort by alphabetical' in the 'customize start menu' panel, and I've made sure none of the folders are sorted by name... but
nothing seems to do it.

I purchased a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I purchased the Any Time Upgrade for Vista Ultimate. MS had to mail me the Any Time Disc, which is taking a long time coming. I haven't installed any software, including my anti virus, thinking it would be best to do the system upgrade first. Is this correct, or can I just go ahead and load the other software (Office 2007, QuickBooks 2008) and Trend Micro Internet Security?

I 'm not sure if it's a huge problem, but I would really like to get rid of it altogether because it is kind of annoying. Nothing else is wrong with my computer. I know changing the boot order is supposed to get rid of this, and I was given a link and a suggestion, but my options are slightly different than the ones I found in the link.
