Strange Alphabetical Format Appeared in My Documents

[*~~Laughingstar~~*]

Last week, out of the blue, when I opened up My Documents to save a doc, it
appeared with a alphabetical heading in a list format. A had all my
folders/docs starting with "A," and on down the alphabet. I nearly flipped
out. In all my years on the computer that has never appeared. It was nearly
arranged but not from anything I did. I shut down, opened up again, ran
everything I could think of include One Care, and Penicillin's free scan -
nothing at all showed up.

What was this (it's gone now)?

XP PRO, IE 6, SR2 (then); Office 2003, AdAware, Avast, Windows Defender on,
no temp. internet files at the time. Thank you.

Clicking on "name" gives you alphabetic order. But you'll know that?

In Windows Explorer, if you go to View / Arrange Icons by / and click
the Groups setting, you'll get that. It can also be done with the
following three keystrokes... alt-v, i, g. Not sure why it happened,
maybe just one of life's little wonders.

Yes, within the group, this was an itemized visual display of my
folders/docs with the alphabetical letter at the top of each group --
nothing else except the letter, "A" for example, and all folders and docs
under that letter.

Ahhhh, excellent - I change my VIEW options because I have to use a screen
reader (adaptive technology such as Dragon, ZoomText, etc) ... I must have
'hit' the wrong option by mistake. Sheesh. Thank you very much.

I'm so glad you are all 'here.'
