    I have a custom folder in the c: directory that contains 10 internet shortcuts that I would like to do a custom arrangement of the icons not sorted by any criteria.

    In XP I could just select Align To Grid and then place the shortcuts in any layout I desired.

    The choices in Win7 are Sort By... or Group By... but I can't find any way to do NO sort without being forced to the sort by Name default?

    Much thanks for the link.

    Gawd, this only reminds me of how much I REALLY MISS XP!

    You are welcome. :)

    I think Windows 7 is as good as Windows XP once you customize it the way you want it to work.
