the files in my computer are different order

[hazza]

ok guys, yet another thing that is bugging me lol.

im not sure when it happened or what i did, but nowadays when open up "My Computer" the icons are in the thumbnail order. i know that i can change the icons by going to veiw, and then chose: 'list', 'icon' etc. i have tried all of them but none of them make them look like they are "supposed to".

i took these links from google btw.

my 'my computer' looks like this:

When in My Computer, Right-Click and click on View -> Large Icons.

Then, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab -> Apply to all folders.

i do use ccleaner yes.

has it done something?

 

[Osiris]

Yes...open it up, see where it says custom files and folders, uncheck that, it shouldnt happen again. Ive noticed this on my system and it did the trick

 

[hazza]

one problem with that, the custom files and folders box wasnt checked!!
