help! Why is it that when I do the following: right click
the desktop and select properties click the themes tab
and click save as... - my folders are arranged from z to
a! what is up with that?! I know the default setting is
from a to z. It gets really annoying when I click the
desktop tab and click browse, the whole thing is arranged
from a-z and I have to scroll all the way down to get a
wallpaper that starts with a. What irritates me the most
is that when I can't find the my wallpaper I get confused
and I start to get headaches, only to find that it was
arranged from z-a! So what I do is I right click the
background and click arrange icons by name. But when I do
the right click desktop browse thing again, it goes back
to the way it was: all the icons are still arranged from
z to a!

Really annoying! Please I really need HELP! thank you so
much for your time!
 
Changing reso;ution will do that too.
Look at WinTidy - Save DesktopIcons :

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those
posters should spend their time taking the test @

from.

This is now the default return address that comes on all
Microsoft newsgroup postings made using the CDO web interface. It
was put in recently to stop harvesting of E-mail addresses to use
to send viruses to.
 
TY Ken- that's what I guessed.
