I have a shortcut (to another subfolder) in a list of folders and with naming in uniform from a->z it appears at the bottom although it starts with "A". When it is in uniform from z->a it appears at the top. Is there a way to change this so the shortcut is at the top with the name of the folders from a to z?
 
go to the tool bar and choose VIEW then ARANGE ICONS BY NAME.
 
moooo, I believe that would be some thing with the desktop.ini file (a hidden system folder).
 
XeoNoX, it is already in that way just doesn't list the shortcut first.
madmatt, its not with the actual desktop though, its in a main folder. I am starting to think its not possible lol. DAMN WINDOWS!
 
moooo, Windows uses a file in each customized folder called desktop.ini to save settings into. If you look in your Documents folder you will see a system file called desktop.ini (the same goes for Music, Videos, etc.).

[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12689
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=-237

The file is a system file and hidden by default.
 
oh hmm, now i just have to figure out how to edit :)
thanks you are a wiserman than I.
/me bows
 
try sorting by "size" then choose "name" again, maybe it will fix it, i think thats happened to me before.

IF that doesnt work go to "tools" "folder options" "view" and click "reset all folders" clock "ok" and then try to sort by name again.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
