Can't Turn Off Auto-arrange In Windows 7
Aug 8, 2012
About a month and a half ago, I noticed all my desktop icons were on the left side of the screen in alphabetical order. Turning Auto-arrange off or on does nothing. As soon as I refresh or restart my PC, the icons revert back to the auro-arrange display. We have four user on my PC and oddly enough only my account (which is the admin - not sure if that matters) has the problem. I've read a number of old posts (1-2 years old) that discuss accessing the registry.

I am using Word and I want to be able to arrange the folders and documents I have in a folder however I want them, instead of them being arranged by themselves.

After imaging many, many Win 7 systems, we discovered that the Desktop | View | "Auto Arrange" option and "Align to grid" option were off. We want them on (because the computers are in public spaces).Is there a set of registry settings or group policy settings that we can use to turn those options on?I have found that a registry setting([HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1Desktop] "FFlags"=dword:00200220 ) is related to those options, but just changing that key (to "FFlags"=dword:00200225 ) does not do anything. Refreshing the RegEdit screen just changes the value back to its previous value.

I have a Home theater PC on my home theater system connected via HDMI to an AMP then to a tv all with HDMI. Some times when I turn everything on the computer is in a 1024 x 768. And it doesn't go back until something triggers a new resolution, like exiting or starting Windows Media center and it goes back to 1920x1080. I am guessing when I start up the AMP it can't identify the device so i goes to a default resolution.

I have been using windows 7 for about 1 month now, up from XP.There are a few issues I do not like but I am trying to cope with them.I would like to be able to move a window without it automatically resizing to full screen mode.What happens is: if I grab a window (at top bar) with mouse and pull it to top of screen and the mouse touches the upper limit of my screen, the window gets resized to full screen mode. How do I stop this from happening? Can I turn this off somewhere

In "My Pictures" (only), the "New Folder" option on top is gone and no matter how much I try to arrange the pictures to view my "Subfolders" instead of viewing the pictures arranged by "Day" I can't.I just want that "New folder" option up again, and to view all the subfolders (Arranged by: Folder) I made instead having it "Arranged by: Day". I can still change the "Arranged by: ___" to any of these --->Month, Day, rating, tag.And yes, I've tried changing the "Arranged by: ___" to "Folders" but nothing shows up, except the 4 options I just listed

This is weird... When I arrange a folder by name that is located in My Documents, all the files disappear and refresh doesnt bring them back! I can reproduce it consistently using blank text documents. If I copy that folder and paste it somewhere outside my documents, I can see the contents again.My Documents are mapped to a separate data partition, but Im not sure if that is the problem because if I copy the folder that just got messed up and put it somewhere else on the data partition, the files become visible again.Lastly, why does the menu "arrange by" only appear when Im inside My Documents folder?Ok, Im starting to answer my own question here, but I just noticed that this only occurs when I access My Documents through the libraries link. If I access it through my personal folder link on the start menu, everything is visible again, and the "arrange by" menu isnt visible

With previous versions of Windows, I was able to arrange file in a folder by type of file, by date file was created, etc. I can't figure out how to do this in Win 7.

I have two toolbars in IE 9 that are both very short. I would like to merge them on the same line. I used to be able to do this by clickin on the handle on the left end, then move it when a 4 point arrow showed up, which it is now NOT showing up.

All I'm trying to do is arrange my photos in folders according to subject. It will not allow me to drag and drop from one picture folder to another. I tried following the directions and adding the same tag to all the pics I want in the same folder but that isn't working. This system will not let me do anything to arrange my photos the way I want?

How can I arrange jpgs within a folder without renaming them FIRST? XP allowed drag and drop to allow MY OWN organization. Windows 7 seems to have replaced that with only auto-arrange options. Am I missing something or is there still some way to organize a slideshow or content-based order?

I have a colleague who is having problems with documents being saved in 'My Documents' but which are then not visible. After consulting our external IT company, we were told it because the 'Arrange By' option in My Documents was set to 'Name' and it should be set to 'Folder'.
My colleague changed this and it solved the problem. However, every day it reverts to the default arrange by 'name' setting, and she has to manually change it to 'folder'.
How do I change the settings so that it arranges by 'folder' by default?

I bought a Asus U36J laptop back in April of last year and ever since then I have been beating around an issue that I dont seem to be able to resolve one way or the other. When ever the laptop is on battery and in battery saving mode it has my taskbar on autohide. If I turn that off, then it stays off right until it is put back into battery saving mode at which point it is "magically" ticked on again.
Is there no way to simply disable that feature, as its annoying me greatly. I know its tied into the battery saving desktop, and I want to keep the battery saving desktop but want a full taskbar all the time. I found a supposed fix to make that happen, and while it actually makes the taskbar appear all the time, it still is a bad hack as any windows I have open wont "attach" to the taskbar but attaches to the buttom of the screen.
So for the love of god is there no sane way for me to keep the battery saving desktop but get rid of the autohiding taskbar. Otherwise I know Asus most likely wont be my laptop of choice next time aroumd.

When I open my library and look at my video files (arranged based on "date modified"), the files that are older than one week are alphabetically listed under "Earlier this week," "Earlier this month" and "Earlier this year." In contrast, when i copy those same files on a memory card (SDHC), they're arranged in true chronological order. I would like the library to show true chronological order (ie not separated by this week, this month, etc), so I could more easily determine which files have been copied over to the media card. How do I do that?

Some files in my external drive has a lock symbol near them, some don't. Why is this happening?
I am using Microsoft Sync and recently I had to use "Run as Administrator" for it because some files were "access denied". (I am using the drive in different operating systems in different partitions).
Should I run Sync in administrator mode, or regular? How should I arrange the security for the drive? Should I add users or everyone? (now it is creator owner, system, administrators and me -I am administrator and only user-).
I got confused because before I didn't need to use the administrator mode for syncing and I don't want it to cause problems when syncing, not to miss any files.
(When I try to give myself -username-pc/username- full control, after that it still returns to not full control, no permissions for the drive are inherited )

A laptop of mine contracted a virus, and installed a fake antivirus program. I was able to uninstall the fake antivirus, but now I have another problem. Every time I turn on / restart the laptop, I get the message "Windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart automatically in one minute, please save your work now". The laptop then restarts, ad infinitum. Now, having done a quick google search, I see lots of reccommendations involving either going into Safe Mode or using the Advanced Boot Options. Problem is, I can't get the F8 menu screen to come up on the problem laptop. I have another laptop of the exact same model - this one is uninfected and I can get the F8 menu up just fine, so it's nothing to do with me mis-timing pushing the button. I have tried going into Safe Mode via the Boot options in msconfig, but alas I get the same error message in Safe Mode, too, and again my computer is forced to restart.
