Stop alphabetical sort in program menus and favorites

[Guest Me]

I like to organise my program menus and favorites in non alphabetical order.

Each time I restart my pc they go back to alphabetical order. How do you stop

XP and IE 7 from sorting menus and favorites in alphabetical order? Thanks.

This is dumb but it is functional:

Someone else mentioned that you could rename the items to:

01 - xxxxxx

02 - xxxxxx

03 - xxxxxx

etc.

 

This way it would sort by the #'s.

Its a bit of work if you don't find anything better.

There have been other threads about this, and you might look at some of

the internet explorer groups rather than a windowsxp group.

This is a new thing. My PC only started doing this about two weeks ago.

It's driving me up the wall. Almost every time I reopen IE6 my

favorites have been sorted alphabetically. Prior to this, favorite

sorting had remained stable for years.

 

Something in my XP system has changed to cause this new behaviour - but

what?

Sure, I could do this, but that won't tell me WHY it happened.

Everything used to be ok. Suddenly it changed. WHY?
