Window refresh still doesn't work

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Pardon me if this is an old subject. I was disappointed to find that in
WindowXP File Explorer, with files viewed as either Tiles or Icons, F5
(refresh) does not re-sort files by name. I was even more disappointed to
find that it still doesn't work in XP64.



Steps to recreate: In any explorer window with some files, select Arrange
Icons By - Auto Arrange by Name and View as either Icons or Tiles. Files
should be in alph. order. Drag a file or two out of order and press F5.
Every Windows release prior to XP would put file back in order. Why is this
still broke?

Nobody else notice this or care? or just something annoying that has to be
lived with? Anyone know of a workaround or registry setting that can cure
it?
