Hi, We have WINDOWS XP OS on my system. We have a problem with auto refresh in windows explorer. We have a folder that is mapped to network location. We have this problem only with the network mapped drive. As soon as we rename any file, the file is moved to the last in the folder. We do not want this behavior. The file should be in the same place where it was before renaming. For example, we have the following files in the folder in the same order abc.pdf fgh.pdf zyx.pdf if we rename the file 'fgh.pdf' as 'fghxyz.pdf' then the order will be abc.pdf zyx.pdf fghxyz.pdf we do not want this type of behavior. The file should be at the same place where it was before renaming. Any ideas to disable this behavior? Thank you in advance, Raheem MA

If there is I am unaware of it....file associations are based on alphabetical sequencing....when you make/add (name changing) a file then it will auto insert itself to the end of list till the folder is closed...on re-opening it it will auto alphabetize itself in proper sequencing....changing this could possible slow your system way down in searching out misplaced files.

thank you for quick reply, We do not want this behavior, can we make any changes to registry or whatever to resolve this issue? Please post your ideas. Thank you, Raheem MA

If the file that begins with "f" gets moved to the position after the file that begins with "z", then it is not being sorted alphabeticaly. It's probably being sorted by date modified and in order from oldest to newest. Look at the top of the catagory where it says "Name". Click on where it says name and make sure the little arrow is pointing up. If it points down after you have clicked it, click it again and it will point up.
