Folders in windows explorer

[shrimply]

This is a bit of a bizarre problem, its not a huge issue but has been annoying me quite a bit lately.

 

I imagine its a relatively simple solution but explaining it could be difficult.

 

Basically the thumbnails will no longer click into possition when I drop them into windows explorer or move them around they just end up anywhere like in this picture.

They will go back to grid view if I switch off of thumbnail view and back on, but otherwise they stay where they are.

 

Is there a way to make the folders start automatically clicking into a grid view.

 

I really hope you understand because I am having great difficulty explaining it.

Hi Shrimply

 

Right-click any empty space in the folder and make sure Auto Arrange is ticked.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi shrimply

 

Get ready to kick yourself lol, as they say easy when you know how :)

 

right click in the folder, should get a little menu box at the top view, move the mouse over it another little box at the bottom, Auto Arrange should have a little tick by it if not click on it and that should do it for you :)
