The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I hate Windows. Really. Things go wrong when you don't do anything and stuff changes on its own.
Ok, my folders don't seem to be auto-refreshing when I add stuff. No less than a week ago, if I dragged a song into a folder, it automatically re-sorted it so it was in the right place alphabetically. It does do this if I leave the folder but its just a slightly tedious point.
Anyone know what setting needs changing to make it do so? Or do they know if it cant refresh on the fly if theres too many files or something?
I just had a look in a few other folders and yeah, Auto arrange is just greyed out for some reason.
if you have the view in list or detail that option will be greyed out.
Well it is in list. But its always been in list but auto-arranged them. So something, somewhere has gone wrong.
probably some vista patch. try switching to small icons putting on autoarrange and then switching back.
if not then suck it up and leave it as small icons.
That worked. I tried it with large icons before but I think the key might be unchecking and then rechecking auto arrange before going back to list. Seems a bit lame its not an option in list mode though.

F5 is also refresh...
And F-functions aren't really useful as I have to turn them off to get the most out of my f-key overrides that do other nifty stuff.
right click -> refresh
this should really be in the help/advice forum btw
