IE6 Link Icons Jumbled

[Jackson]

The icons on my link bar alphabetize automatically. I want to place certain
ones in front but they are always sorted on bootup. How can I get them to
stay where I place them?

stay where I place them?

Have you tried unchecking the Sort by Name option?
(Since the ordered list is caused by checking right-click, Sort by Name
perhaps unchecking it would stop that effect.)

Have you tried dragging a link to a different location in either the
Links bar, or via the Favorites menu (Alt-a,L)? That is usually the
way that other Explorer windows work. For that matter you could try
opening the Links subdirectory in an Explorer window and see if
dragging links around there affects the right-click Arrange Icons By >
options or if you actually have to uncheck them.

E.g. enter %USERPROFILE%\Favorties\Links


Good luck

Ratz, tried all of your suggestions and when I reboot all of the icons are
sorted again. I never could find an option to Sort by Name though.
