Win7 Files.

I have Win7. 64 Bit and I put my DVDs on my Hard Drive.
Then I watch them every now and then.

I put these Titels on my Hard Drive and I name them as so.

Resident Evil 02
Resident Evil 03 Behind
Resident Evil 03 Extra
Resident Evil 03
Resident Evil

Why is the Resident Evil 03 going right after Resident Evil 02?

Why does my Win put it at the bottom?

And why is Resident Evil not the first one in the list on my Hard Drive?
Win7. is putting them in this order and yes I set the Folder to Show in Order A to Z

Thanks for the time.

Windows 7 has what you call Windows 7 Explorer Auto Arrange.This is the reason why it was Arrange in that way.I know i know these Programmers don't think like we do.But it's the nature of the beast.

The Bat file below will help with this.

All you need to do is open the file and let it do it's thing.

 

I downloaded this file 6 years ago.To help with the problem you have currently.I was getting frustrated like you when trying to do the same thing.Works with any windows 7 version.I think it even works with other newer os.I have not tested it in a few years since i installed windows 7.

It will disable the necessary stuff,That is needed no more.It will only take a few seconds then it's done.It will do all the stuff on that page that harmless showed.

Works every time.

 

Here is more info in the batch file on what it disables.If any one is curious.
