Please help! Folder pictures keep moving

[Guest]

Can someone help with this issue, please?

In the sub-folders within the My Pictures folder (XP Pro), I have many
pictures (thumbnails view), which I keep having to arrange in the order I
would like because every time I reboot, the order reverts to either
alphabetical or some incomprehensible other order. I have tried all the
options in the "view --> arrange icons by -->" menu, and none will allow me
to arrange and KEEP the order I want. I have tried unchecking EVERYTHING,
uncheking everything except "align to grid", unchecking everything and then
rechecking "align to grid" after I have arranged the pictures - all with the
same result. In addition, when I uncheck EVERYTHING, the thumbnails do not
align properly. Also, when I check "allign to grid", the picture thumbnails
do not all appear within the window unless the window is maximized to "full
screen".

What can I do to get the folders to preserve the order I establish for my
pictures (not "name", "size", "type", "modified", "picture taken on", or
"dimensions"), with the pictures aligning properly and appearing in a
1/2-screen-sized window?

Thank you for your help.

it won't hurt anything.
