Turning on AutoArrange for Folders

To make all folders keep AutoArrange turned on:

  1. Open up an existing folder
  2. Select View / Arrange
  3. Arrange the Icons the way you would like, (e.g. Name, Size,etc.)
  4. Select View / Arrange again
  5. Select AutoArrange
  6. Press the Ctrl-key while you close the window.
  7. This folder should now have AutoArrange always selected.

This should allow you to create new folders that have AutoArrange selected by default. You only need to specify by Name, Size, etc. if you want to change it from the default you set above.

Note: I have only tested this on a few computers. Please give me feedback regarding any problems.
