  Unfortunately, this capability is no longer part of Windows.

  There are third party programs that can make this happen, however.

  Microsoft intentionally removed the option to disable Auto Arrange, but it's still possible with a workaround.   See the Auto Arrange links below.

  Microsoft's answer for not being able to disable auto arrange: Can I manually arrange files within folders?

  From Microsoft: Working with files and folders

   

   

  Note:  The links below involve editing the registry - be careful!

  Let Microsoft know you want Windows Explorers features returned:

  Since many people seem to agree that some or all the changes made to Windows Explorer have actually made it less user friendly, you can go to the Windows 7 Feedback page and let them know your suggestions for improving it:
