Yes I guess I did misunderstand..... even easier open the folder and
uncheck "autoarrange" To align your pictures click on "align to grid".
Does this help?

I thnk so Turning off auto arrange seemed to do it. I tried it a few times
and it worked thanks a lot!! I guess i turned it off trying different
things a few months ago and thought the holding shift thing did it.

You are certainly welcome, keep your fingers crossed *thxheynow*, I am
sure that this was the problem though. The folder view "auto arrange" is
a default value. You should be okay now. ( hopefully....one never knows
for sure!)

hey, thx... did you ever find a satisfactory solution to your problem. i
can't help totallly, because i don't know where i found the right button...
but

i organized all my photos, did a batch rename, which also renumbered, and
exported from my "management" program into photogallery. when it got there
the photos were all mixed up, but the right numbers were with the right
pictures.

somehow, somewhere in the menus, i found a button that let me "sort by
name." that rearranged my photos quite nicely, in the order i wanted.

NOW, if anyone knows, where was that? i know i'll be needing it again.

thanks

When i have a folder of photos in an order i want and do a select all and
rename the first pic to (1) why does vista take it upon itself to change the
order and scramble the pics into some illogical order???!! SO if i had pics
of a house being built one would be a concrete slab the next ends up being
shingling the roof as pic two.... it doesnt make sense. I have been burning
my pics onto a disc to load into an xp computer ... put them in the order i
want then put them back on to vista. Can someone tell me how to turn the
"what Vista feels like" order off? THis has been driving me crazy!!
