My favorite part of Dock's responses is his use of the word
"correctly".

That's for the desktop. Dock is having trouble with the start menu and
the alphabet.

Actually, I am having problems with moronic twits that are offering
useless help in a help group.
When asking for assistance to make folders not alphabetize themselves, I
am told that it is easier to just let them do whatever they wish.
This is dumbassery advice and the ones, such as yourself, who agree that
it is just the bestest available advice and should really be good
enough, are just as moronic.
If someone has a hole in their bucket and asks for advice on how to
patch the hole, the advice should not be to not use a bucket.
This group is a joke. Are there any posters here who have owned a
computer for more than 6 months?

Well it's been several hours now and I've switched off a couple of times,
surfed the net, sent and received emails, played a few games and had a
couple of Microsoft updates and still the start menu entries have stayed
where I set them.
I took snapshots of the registry while re-arranging the icons and it looks
like the settings are saved in this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage
with the data held in the binary value 'AllProgramsOrder'.
I renamed this value and rebooted and the start menu entries reverted to alphabetical
sorting, even though the box 'Sort All Programs menu by name' was still clear.
I looks like when you select the box 'Sort All Programs menu by name' in the customize
section Explorer ignores the reg key above and sorts alphabetically by default.
When the box is not selected then Explorer reads the reg key and sorts according to
the data held there.
If your settings are not being saved have a look at that reg key.

Gene E. Bloch said:When I read Andy's response, I did two things:
1. I told K that the OP was going to react negatively.
2. I took a poll. Two out of two in this room agreed with Andy. We just
got used to the new way and went on from there.
For me, Andy's method became in fact much more convenient than the old
way, but K just got used to it. No better, no worse.
I haven't done any pinning yet (except in the task bar), but I am
listening to your suggestion
Gene.
You and I can agree to disagree. I've found 99% of Andy's posts are from
the hip, uneducated responses.

No, it's very helpful to those who aren't obnoxious jerks like
yourself.
Yes, for around 30 years so I've learned to use the bozo bin.
You'll find some other obnoxious jerks there, you can have a party!

OTOH, I just read another of Andy's posts. I have changed my mind
completely. Forget that 1% of which I spoke...

I am not too sure what Dock was expecting. MS employees? There are some
knowledgeable and helpful people here. Most of us are just new to Win7 and
are helping each other. Might I suggest to Dock the if this group is such a
disappointment, s/he gets her/his bum off to find paid help

This will be a great group once the yahoos get bored of talking to
themselves and clear out. The serious posters just need to stick
with it.
