When I right click on the desktop to "arrange icons by name", only some of
the desktop icons are alphabetized. How can I get the entire desktop to
comply?

Recycle Bin, My Network Places and Internet Explorer will be alphabetized
first, followed by file system folders, followed by files/shortcuts.

slackmack said:No, application programs like Turbo Tax, for instance is listed ahead of
Ad-Ware. There seem to be two sets of alphabetized icons. It is not just
the MS icons. There are application icons between some of the MS icons like
My Computer

woggie said:I am totally with you on this slackmack! I've noticed this is the case for
years in XP, an previoucly in Win2k. No matter how many times I've
installed
these OS's they don't sort logically (as a human being regards a
reasonable
logical sort).
There does indeed appear to be two levels of alpha-icity going on in
Windows.
My Computer
Recycle Bin
Acrobat Reader
Blaze Media Pro
BWMeter
DivX Player
HP PrecisionScan
ITunes
Mozilla Firefox
PowerDVD Pro EX
Quicktime Player
VLC Media Player
_Docs (folder)
_Monitor Notes.doc (Word doc)
ACDSee
Azureus.exe
BSPlayer
G-Spot
ISOBuster
Limewire Pro
Microsoft Office *
Nero Burning ROM
QuickTax 2005
Windows Explorer
WinRAR
WinZip
Notice that adding a Windows Explorer shortcut doesn't add it in with My
Computer and Recycle Bin even though it refers to a basic Windows program.
And the fact that it is a shortcut doesn't explain that. What the heck is
the
difference between the first group and the second?? Why is DivX Player
different than Nero? Is there a hidden character in the filename or
something? They are both shortcuts. Someone must be able to explain
this!!!!!
I can't believe this isn't a common question!
