Strange Happenings With XP

[Micah J. Kautter]

Within the last week, I have been experiencing some strange
occurrences with the save window. When I right click on an image and try
to save it to a drive or directory, all the files in the window are no
longer in alphabetical order by the file name, where they have been
previously. When I right click in the save window and sort the images by
file name, it straightens everything out until I try and save to a
different directory and the whole thing is out of order again.
I have noticed this problem mainly in Internet Explorer, but it has
also occurred in other applications that are not Microsoft applications;
thus leading me to believe that it may be something with XP.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before, and if so, what did
you do to correct it. Please let me know. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Or...

To resolve this behavior, reset the default sort order:
1. Right-click Start, click Explore and then click drive C.
2. On the View menu, click Details.
3. Click the Name column to sort items by name, press and hold down the CTRL
key, and then quit Windows Explorer by clicking Close in the upper-right
corner of the screen.
4. Release the CTRL key.

NOTE: You must perform these steps exactly as they are listed. For example,
do not quit Windows Explorer by clicking Exit on the File menu.
