How to make the D: folder look like the desktop folder? (Windows)
The desktop allows me to arrange files/folders as I'd like on it, so I'm wondering if it's possible to allow the same thing for my D: folder/drive? Is this possible?
Solution 1:
Long answer short: you cannot.
This used to be possible in early windows versions, but in recent versions of windows, the Explorer window just does not allow you to arrange files/folders at all. They are always sorted afterwards. This is also the case if you use explorer to navigate to your desktop folder. You can't drag the icons around there either.
Given that sort is always applied in explorer, if you want to sort your folders differently, rename them and add a number in front. Such as:
-
- My stuff
-
- Awesome Projects
-
- The rest
