Hi...
I have s small problem but coudnt find the solution till this moment. When i sort files (by name or date ...) under specefic folder, it gets sorted. but when close the folder and open again, it returns back non-sorted ... is there a way to reserve the sorting so i dont need to sort every time i open the folder..???

thank you

Right-click Start, click Explore, and then click drive C.

On the View menu, click Details.

Click the Name column to sort items by name, press and hold down the CTRL key, and then quit Windows Explorer by clicking Close in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Release the CTRL key.

Restart your computer.

NOTE: You must perform these steps exactly as they are listed. For example, do not quit Windows Explorer by clicking Exit on the File menu.
