  2. Disabling auto arrange in Windows 10

    My system just updated and now I can't arrange folders on my desk top as I need them. It will slow down my work considerably to have to hunt for folders.

    Can anyone tell me how to disable auto arrange in the latest version of Windows? The view function has disappeared from favorites.

    Please no links...just a simples step by step would be appreciated. Thank you. Joanne

    Disable Auto Arrange in Windows Explorer


    Thanks for the info. The only problem with the first link is that is seems to only allow you to disable auto arrange of icons within certain views. I would like to disable it for all views. I also do not want to disable the snap to grid option, as this is actually useful. Since I am using it for pictures it does not make sense to be stuck in details view. Also since I am using it for pictures I usually need the thumbnails to be large or somewhere between large and extra large, so I need to be able to customize the icon size and still be able to disable the auto arrange. Any suggestions for that?
