I changed to Icon view, disabled the autoarrange, then switch back to
detailed view but this dreaded auto-refresh still occurs..
Do you understand exactly what im talking about? Let me explain better:
For example you have a zip file that starts with a letter B, and you use the
context menu (with winzip for example)
to right click> unzip it,
IN XP> This just unziped and placed the extracted folder on the very bottom
of the list, and waited there until you pressed refresh (F5)
IN VISTA> It autorefreshes and paces the Folder up, in aplhabetical order...
What this causes... and why its annoying? When you have hundreds of folders
and you unzip something, in XP you knew it was always on the bottom and you
could copy paste it somewhere else, but with Vista you have to "hunt for it"
losing time slowing you down when you are in a hurry to orgnanize the data
in the folders.
I know I can set the details view to show the newest type on top or buttom,
but that does not keep all the ZIP files together as if you have it in
arranged via TYPE for example.
What I need is a way to turn off auto-refresh in vista and make it work like
XP.
Perhaps someone knows...
