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.

    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.

    Ken, this solution does not work. Keeping the files sorted
    alphabetically, but not automatically seems impossible.

    Automatically sorting is unacceptable for various reasons. It is
    overly intrusive and is preventing me from using and accessing my files.

    Is there no other way to disable this horrid 'feature'?

    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.

    Ken, as you can clearly see by the thousands of viewers, this is a major
    concern and clearly needs to be addressed ASAP. Please refrain from
    eluding the topic at hand and come forth with an acceptable solution.

    Ken, you unwillingness to aid has caused great strife in the community.
    I will be gathering enough signatures in a petition to terminate your
    position.

    You were given ample time to resolve this issue. There is no excuse
    for your unprofessionalism. Your career has just been destroyed. Good
    day.

    The severity of the issue has only grown since this thread's inception.
    All the more reason to quell this massive 'auto sort' burden. If you
    do not assist in its speedy resolution, then you must desert this thread
    immediately.

    Yes, I believe I rendered that ill-mannered dolt useless quite
    effectively. Now let us discuss how to finally fix this massive issue.

    Ignoring the issue is hardly a valid response. Expedite your solution,
    else suffer the consequences.

    Ken, you are a disgrace. You superiors have been contacted and their
    disgust of your actions is now well known. I look forward to your
    termination with glee.
