Yep -

I noticed that the link to Madhits .reg file no longer pointed to the .reg file as well (I recently purchased a new computer and I wanted to install this on my new system.)

However, I did same a copy of the files (includiing the undo .reg)

Please email me: dmichels@execpc.com and I’ll send them to you, if you wish.

Does anyone have the link to Madhits .reg file? It doesn’t seem to be working anymore and I want to turn this off globally.

I have tried to do this manuall and also by simply extracting the .zip and going that route. Nothing seems to happens regardless of what I do. Any help would be greal. I’m running the 32 bit home professional version.

I applied this reg fix but couldn’t get it to work. I’m going to uninstall Windows 7 and go back to XP. Microsoft is completely useless. I’m so sick of them making life difficult. A simple function like moving photos within a folder doesn’t sound like much, but when you run a site that depends on using tons of photos and they need to be organized, it becomes a huge cost in time and money when you can’t perform that simple function. Microsoft is too lazy, too arrogant and too stupid to acknowledge this mistake and then they wonder why we hate them. My next machine is going to be a MAC.

This doesnt work when you browse network shares!
Interestingly enough!
probably a different folder GUID.

Thank GOD for this – the number of times I have needed it is already uncountable. Just think of the amount of time they’re spending thinking up useless, counterproductive feature additions like this for windows 8!

To Greg; Reordering is not a hacks fault, when you create a folder in icon or thumbnail (large icons) view, explorer automatically rearrange order, it’s a natural windows’ 7 behavior

Works as intended, thank you.
Though it should be mentioned that it does not work for “list” view.
is there a way to make it work for list view?
another thing i noticed, when in root folder i.e: D:\ or C:\ the the auto arrange is disabled in “list” view. This makes me believe that there is hope…
and another thing, when i create a new folder or file (not in root) it automatically rearranges alphabetically and not after i refresh the screen via F5.
is this supposed to happen? as i said earlier, this behavior does not happen on root folder.
