I hope I can make this question make sence... I'm not a huge computer person....(as you'll see) I must have messed up my folder behavior. I open My documents or My pictures, I can't move them around like before like when you see a line and can put the folder there. If I extract a zip file, it extracts somewhere in the folder, but not right next to the zip like it used to. They also won't seem to "sort by name". I hope someone can tell me how to fix this... Thanks Michelle |

On the menu that pops out, move the mouse pointer over "Arrange Icons By". On the menu that appears, click on Auto Arrange. Right click again, but this time click on Name. Move some items around to see if this is the type of behavior you're trying to achieve. If it is, do the following. Click on tools on the toolbar at the top of the window. Select Folder Options from the menu that drops down. In Folder Options, click on the View tab. Hit the "Apply to all folders" button. Click OK. Good luck Nepatsfan |
