How permanently kill (no) auto arrange icons in the windows Explorer 7

I can't drag and drop icons in the windows Explorer window 7, I can't disable snap to grid, I can not disable the grouping, I can't disable sorting, please any help, hack recording, scripts, tweaks, codes, orders, alternative programs.

My thought is: If icons can be freely arranged at the office, so the ability to turn the auto organize into folders exist in the system, I'm looking for a way to re - activate.

Dxcorp,

Suggestions are welcome; feel free to leave your comments on Windows 7 comments if you want to restore this functionality.

    My main monitor is in the Middle, cuz make games and other things.  My second monitor is off on the side to make the navigation while playing games, programming, and code, to learn the new language of programming (tutorial on the left, on the right IDE) etc.

    That's what I'm aiming for.

    Icons lined up on the left.  Any way to do this, or any program that can do this?  Already found something that allows me to have a double task bar, but I still have to find something like that

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    To keep the icons on the extended screen, you must either make the main screen or you must disable arrange. Arrange the feature will organize the icons on the screen main itself.

    -Are you using the monitors in extend mode or double?

    You can consult the following Microsoft articles for more information about the monitor options.

  • How to adjust the default column is displayed in the Windows Explorer screens

    I would like to change the concrete by default of my columns when you use Windows Explorer screen. It bothers me that I can't find a way to change the columns that appear by default whenever I open a new window.

    I want to display more or less than the default value. Everytime I open a window a new session with the Explorer, it displays update, Type, size and tags by default.
    I know how to add or remove a column, but it is a pain when you have to do every time especially if I have more than 10 windows open at a time.
    There is some great information available especially with the content of media like music, videos or photos. There are many categories to choose from which must be wound up manually like BitRate, author, size, Date acquired, update, etc...

    Is it possible to change this so that by default, I can choose the columns to display by default. Do not have to adjust them each time I open a new window.

    It is a 64-bit version of Vista Ulitimate, but if there is a response, I think it applies to all Vista OS...

    Hello Chuckbytes,

    Thank you for posting.  I have a solution to your problem.  This fix is to modify the registry.  If you do not want to edit the registry, and then don't do these steps.  Also always do a backup of your registry before making any changes.
    These steps are courtesy of Médard Ghazi of Tweakguides.
    Please let me know if this helps you.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

    Changing folder views

    For example, you can set your directory \Users\[username]\Downloads to display in the Details view, but if you copy a picture, song or video in the directory, the next time that view you the content they can be display large icons mode. Even if go you back and change the view type, it can reset itself once more the next time you go a different file type in this directory.

    Solution

    Open the registry editor-
    Navigate to the following keys:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

    Right-click on the bags key in the left pane and select Remove, and then do the same for BagMRU. This will remove most of the existing customizations for things like window sizes, positions and views. While still in the same place in the registry editor, you must manually recreate one of these keys, with a new parameter. Right-click on the following key in the left pane:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

    Create a new key called bags to replace the one you just removed. Right-click on the bags, select new > key and the name of this new AllFolderskey. Right click on AllFolders, select new > key and name the new key Shell. The final result should look like this:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

    Now left-click on the last key Shell and in the right pane click right-click in an empty area and select new > string value. Name this new string FolderType and once created, double-click on it and in the value data box, you can set the default view, that all files will be initially (unless otherwise stated) by entering one of the following values:

    NotSpecified
    Contacts
    Documents
    Music
    Photos

    For example, if you enter Documents in the FolderType value data box (which I recommend), then all the files for which you do not manually set a default view to the standard Documents records display as you set it.

    Now, in Windows Explorer, go to your \Users\[username]\ directory and for each of the folder main types down there (Documents, photos, music, videos), make sure that you set the view as you want, including things like choose the columns to show, and what each of them is, the size of any icons/thumbnails, how they are sorted, etc. When you make the changes for each folder click organize at the top of the Windows Explorer, select "Folder and Search Options", go to the display tab and click on the button "apply to folders. This will set this view to all folders of this type even, and this method also means that should you copy files to another type in a folder, it will not change this folder view settings - in the future that the settings should stay exactly as you let them.

    Update: There is a step more that can help ensure that these parameters remain fixed. Navigate to the following key:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]

    Left click on the Shell key and in the right pane, if you can see BagMRU Size then it is not necessary to take this step. If she's not there though, right click and select new > DWORD 32-bit value and name BagMRU Size. Now, set this value to 10000 in decimal mode (or 2710 in hexadecimal mode).

  • Default folders: How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    How can I change my default settings so that Windows Explorer, downloads, etc., all open to the folder I chose instead of "libraries.

    Here is an article on how to change this folder opens when you click on an icon in Windows Explorer:http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-windows-explorer-icon-to-open-a-diffierent-folder-in-windows-xp-and-vista.html.  I think this will do the trick. Otherwise, maybe the following can help (but I think that's the answer you're looking for).

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.  Keep in mind that it works, just a generic and holistic - it will not work for individual folders by folder.  That cannot be done in Vista.  But you can create shortcuts to the folders that you want and add to the desktop or right-click

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free programhttp://autosizer.en.softonic.com/to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • How to change the default value for the Windows Explorer window resizing

    I recently reinstalled XP and now when I open Windows Explorer, the window opens it up to a size of about 1/8 of the size of the screen.  I keep the resizing to how I like it, but every time that I re - open, he is reduced to the size of 1/8th.  How can I make my default size size that Windows Explorer opens up to.

    I have already tried:

    Open a window and make it the size you want

    Open a 2nd window and are the same size.

    The 1st window to the front, hold CTRL and click the red X in the upper right corner.

    Close the window of the 2nd in the same way using CTRL.

    Display settings files from the tools-> Folder Options-> view tab-> advanced settings, managing pairs of Web pages and folders, check the DISPLAY SETTINGS of don't forget NOT EVERY FOLDER

    None of those who work.
    Help please!
    Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window. This includes now does no other windows minimized in the taskbar.
     
    Take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows all first via the taskbar and this one last. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  • Pavilion dv2: how we prevent auto arrange icons at startup

    Whenever I have bootup, my icons are arranged on the left side of the screen.  I have for my taste, but the next time they are back on the left.  Auto Arrange (rt - clk Office > view) is not checked, but it seems not to matter.

    No problem. I had this back on win xp and found a small program that does the trick. Backup/restore the Desktop is a mouse menu option that allows you to place icons anywhere where you want, and then save the configuration. A simple restore if it ever became evil aligned, it gets back. Jamie O'Connell is the owner. Download w8.1 here:
