Set file order in directory?

[Gunther Schmidt]

Nancy,

try FileBox eXtender (freeware, 
http://www.hyperionics.com/files/index.asp). It allows you to auto-switch 
to the "Details" view of the file boxes and lets you specify an order. But 
this is not the main purpose of this Windows Explorer add-on - it 
simplifies the navigation through the folders; besides that it has some 
other useful features. I won't do without it!

I hope this helps.

Gunther
