    how do you "disable" auto arrange to be able to manually sorts file within folders on...


    How do you "disable" auto arrange to be able to manually sort files within folders on Windows 10build 1826?This appears to be a registry issue that Windows 10 changed in the last few updates. I updated to the latest Windows 10 creation build and now ALL my files are misplaced from the order and placement within each window that I want. What I had and require simply is "random, NO auto arrange". How can I Lock them in place?! This is unacceptable and I need to sort files within folders the way I want to. current "fixed" options are of no use to me at all.

    :)

    Any Way to Disable the Auto Arranging of Files for Specific Folders?


    Hey,

    Anybody happen to know how to disable Win 10 auto arranging files in a folder? You can obviously sort them in numerous way, but for certain folders I want to be able to manually rearrange my files (folders that contain music tracks). Apparently in WIn 8.1 you could right click in a folder, go to sorting and unclick "Auto Arrange", but that option doesn't seem to be available in Win 10. Thanks.

    Enable or Disable Auto Arrange in Folders in Windows 10  


    It sounds like you may have some other issue at hand. Step 5 in this tutorial will completely undo the changes made by the disable auto arrange .reg file, then resets folder views back to default.

    Reverting back to a previous image would be the fastest and easiest way to sort whatever this issue is.

    how to auto arrange PDF files in a folder

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In which format are you trying arrange the PDF files?

    By default, File explorer will sort the files and folders in alphabetical order. You can also select other sorting options to arrange your files. I suggest you to try the following steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

    1. Open File Explorer.

    2. Click on View.

    3. Now click on the Sort by drop down.

    4. Select the option that best suits your needs.

    Note: All the files or folder in File Explorer will be sorted in the format that you have selected. This option will remain until it is changed manually.

    Hope it helps.
